This coin is part of a series of coins issued by the Maui Chamber of Commerce to raise money for educational projects. It features two leaping dolphins which are common wildlife on the islands. Here are a few facts about Dolphins that you might not know:
- Dolphins are nocturnal and feed at dawn and dusk. That makes it the best time of day to see them in the wild.
- Dolphins need to tell themselves when to breathe. As a result they can never completely fall asleep. Instead they let 1/2 of the brain sleep at a time. The other side of the brain stays awake to control the breathing, and they also keep one eye open with it.
- Dolphins don't normally dive deeply, but one dolphin trained by the US Navy holds the record at diving 990 feet.
- Dolphins can swim more than 20 miles per hour for short distances, and can hold their breath 8-10 minutes. Amazing!
- It is illegal to swim with the dolphins in the wild. The law mandates that you cannot get within 50 yards of a wild dolphin. It is however legal to swim with captive dolphins, and many people do.
