| Additional information |
The British Virgin Islands has issued commemorative silver dollars under royal prerogative since the 1970s, producing topical subjects that have no connection to the territory's own history or economy — Mount Rushmore among them. The coins are struck under license and distributed almost entirely to the collector market; none circulate in the BVI, where the US dollar has been the functional currency since 1959.
