2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Financial Information Month

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issued this piece specifically to promote Financial Information Month, an annual initiative the ECCB has run since 2004 to improve financial literacy across its eight-member currency union. That union — covering Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Anguilla, and Montserrat — shares a single currency, the East Caribbean dollar, whose peg to the US dollar at 2.70:1 has held without adjustment since 1976.

Commemorative circulating bimetallic and nickel-steel issues from the ECCB have historically seen limited distribution outside the issuing territories, making finds in uncirculated condition the norm in collections.
