  2. That's a coin from Chile ... the inscription on it reads "Chiie" instead of "Chile" .. raising questions that the coins manufactured were flawed ...

  4. Here the name of Chile is wrongly spelled as CHIIE. The general manager of Chilean mint, Gregorio Iniguez had to lose his job because of this omission. (February 2010).
