Coin Evolution: Enhancing Efficiency & Savings for You

The Bank is making positive changes to our coins! While the new 5, 10, and 25 cent coins will look and feel the same, their metal composition is now more cost-effective, helping us save around TT $15,000,000 in minting costs. Plus, we phased out the 1 cent coin making our coin production more efficient and cost effective.
