are selling like hotcakes.

The coins were struck by the British Royal Mint and their spokesman Alan Wallace said: "We thought that the issue of 1,500 gold proofs and 5,000 sterling silver proofs would be sufficient to satisfy the market place, but it seems that the Bermuda Triangle not only affects ships and aircraft, but coins too.'' Only a few of the $60 denomination gold coins remain while quantities of the $3 silver coins are "sinking fast'', he added.

The 1996 dated coins are the first in a three-year series of triangular coinage. The gold coin contains an ounce of gold and the sterling coin weighs 20 grams.

The prices for the gold coin and silver coins are US$1,395 and US$49.95 respectively.

On one side they depict a sketch of the Bermudian archipelago with a compass rose above and a 16th-century fully-rigged caravel below.

The reverse bears a portrait of the Queen.

Orders should be sent to the British Royal Mint, P.O. Box 772570, Woodside, New York, 11377.

SENTENCING PUT OFF IN CANNABIS CASE CTS Sentencing put off in cannabis case A 23-year-old Pembroke man who admitted importing $21,000 worth of cannabis and cannabis resin was ordered to seek legal advice when he told the court the drugs were for his personal use and not for supply.

Jason Kenneth Urick Harris of Middleton Lane, of Friday admitted importing 13.5 grams of cannabis and 128 grams of cannabis resin into Bermuda, but he denied possessing the drugs with intent to supply.

Sgt. Phil Taylor did not read the summary of the facts in light of his not guilty plea to the more serious charge.

But duty counsel Duncan Hall said that Harris was confused about the charges and said it would be better if the entire matter was adjourned so that he could get legal advice.

Senior Magistrate Will Francis adjourned the proceeding until December 22 and released Harris on $3,000 bail with one surety.
