| Bermuda Dollar is linked to the US dollar and is slightly stronger (about 1.2 US per 1 Bermuda), but its not like you can spend them anywhere. They are all cupro-nickel, like the US nickel, so if nothing else you can stack them as "bullion". |

| The 5, 10, 25 cent are cupro-nickel, I meant. Dunno the One Dollar coin off the top of my head. |
And he that hath lyberte ought to kepe hit wel / For nothyng is better than lyberte / For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world.

| I really like getting the penny with the starfish on them. If you want to get rid of the ones you have I'll pay face for them plus shipping. |

That's the Bahamas Bermuda has a little pig on theirs called the "hog penny" because back in the day, ships would just throw the hogs off the boat near Bermuda harbor and let them swim to shore on their own rather that try to navigate the reefs with their ship. |
