I am headed down to the VI in just a couple months (St. Thomas) on a cruise. It'll be good to get back there, as it's been many years since I last visited. I had no idea that coins like this had been minted, though. I am learning a lot by paying attention to you SGS folks!

They put out some really nice coins in the British Virgins and some other nearby islands. Most are produced in the US by private mints and the governments sell them. St Thomas is a lot of fun, buy St John's is my favorite US Virgin Island. Two thirds of the island are a park and nothing can be built there so it's not crowded and beautiful! Where is your cruise making stops?

My other two stops this time around are San Juan, PR and Amber Cove, Dominican Republic. I've never actually set foot on St. John, but I did fly over/around it once in a seaplane. 😁 Have you spent a lot of time cruising, or island hopping via other methods?
I lived in Puerto Rico in the later 90's and used to island hop on the weekends as much as possible. I've been to at least half of the major islands while I was there, of course at the time Cuba was still off limits and Haiti has always been a little on the dangerous side. San Juan is always a nice stop, lots of shops in old San Juan and El Morro right there. It's been awhile since I've been to the DR, but it's fun place too. Back then while we were there we always returned with our one box limit of personal use Cuban cigars because they were really inexpensive there.
It sounds like a great trip, you should have a lot of fun!
