Isle of Man coins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Government of the Isle of Man mints its own Pound sterling coins. See Manx pound for details of the island's currency.
The Isle of Man regularly changes the designs on its coins, sometimes as often as every year. One reason for this is to increase sales to collectors, which can be an important source of income in small countries. One set of designs is shown below, but there are many more.
