Samoa's "10 Commandments" series issued ten distinct bi-metallic coins in 2009, each assigned to one of the biblical commandments — a format that required the Central Bank to commit to the full run at inception, making incomplete sets a predictable result of the secondary market fragmenting them over time. The third commandment, prohibiting the misuse of God's name, sits in the theological middle of what scholars have long debated as a two-tablet division between duties to God and duties to man.
