Between 1985 and 1997 of Penny coin

Between 1985 and 1997 the cranium by Raphael Maklouf was used, in which the Queen wears the George IV State Diadem. Since 1998 one by Ian Rank-Broadley has been used, again featuring the tiara, with a signature-mark IRB below the portrait. In all cases, the dedication used is ELIZABETH II D.G.REG.F.D. date. Mutually sides of the coin are bordered by dots.
One penny and two pence coins are properly permitted tender only up to the sum of 20p; these means that it is potential to decline payment of sums greater than this in one and two pence coins in order to settle a debt.

Caribbean Sea
The Caribbean Sea is a hot sea in the Western Hemisphere, part of the Atlantic Ocean, southeast of the Gulf of Mexico. A Mediterranean sea, it covers most of the Caribbean Plate and is surrounded on the south by South America, on the west and south by Mexico and Central America, and on the north and east by the Antilles: the Greater Antilles islands of Hispaniola, Jamaica, Cuba and Puerto Rico lie to the north, and a plethora of Lesser Antilles bound the sea on the east. The entire area of the Caribbean Sea, the numerous islands of the West Indies, and adjacent coasts, are collectively known as the Caribbean.
