Minion Pro does not have support for any blackboard bold characters.
  --- at least not the version that I have.

Try something which does:
   Asana Math, Cambria Math, Code 2001, Deja Vu, Free Serif,  
StixGeneral, Unicode Symbol
support the full alphabet (upper & lower case).
  Many others, such as  Linux Libertine, Ume ... , MS Gothic
support just the commonly-used \mathbb capitals:  C H N P Q R Z.
