This time from Tuvalu, a red back spider coin. I don't think they even have red back spiders in Tuvalu

I'm guessing you won't be buying one then?  Too many painful memories.

That really makes me what to throw up. There's so much color it looks like a red-velvet coin (latest issue from Liberia, plated in 99.99% pure chocolate) gone horribly wrong!!!  8~
