No, it's not some sexual deviation... Well, it could be. That is, if you get your jollies gazing at naked coins and such.
Anyway, what started this was about two weeks ago while we were walking the dogs, my neighbor, Doug, showed me a '
shilling' (twenty-five cent piece) with the old colonial '
British Honduras' on it.
That was pretty cool and was the first British Honduras coinage either of us had seen.

And then, about two days after that, I had gotten curious and had begun checking all the coins that passed through my grubby mits, when, all of a sudden, I found a British Honduras fifty cent piece.

I showed this to Doug a couple of days ago. Wouldn't you know it - neither of us has seen any British Honduras coins since.

Since then, in talking to the older gentleman who runs one of the vegetable stands at the market,he said that a few years ago, the government issued a round $2.00 coin. So, there's obviously some more oddball Belizean coinage for us to search for and find.
If we do come up with anything, I'll post pictures of it, just to titillate our readers.
Cheers,
