I don't see how this can qualify as blasphemy. The image on the coin is more of a commemorative coin situation in which they want to remember this specific event. Its not going to be worshipped or anything that would qualify it as a graven image as some are saying. In fact, much worse has made its way into the church in the past. I think the coin is just fine and should represent what the islanders believe.

I feel indifferent about this:

1. On one hand it is good to promote such an important event

2. On the other hand those same coins may buy drugs, prostitutes, gambling time, etc.

I am actually surprised when such religious happenings are made official tender seeing how diversified the world has become.
