| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues currency on behalf of eight territories — Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, and St Vincent — a monetary union that has held its dollar peg to the USD at 2.70:1 without adjustment since 1976. The lobster series sits within the ECCB's broader push into collector coinage as a revenue stream, a practice that accelerated sharply after 2010 as tourism-dependent member economies sought non-tax income sources.
