In the 1960's the Australians made a perfect decision. They chose to feature their country's amazing wildlife on their currency. here's the list.
- 1 cent = Feather Tailed Glider
- 2 cent = Frill Neck Lizard
- 5 cent = Echidna
- 10 cent = Lyre Bird
- 20 cent = Platypus
- 50 cent = Australian Coat of Arms inc. kangaroo and emu
My buddy randomly found this 5 cent piece while he was searching for vending machine change in his car. He knew I was a coin nut and showed it to me...I stole it and scanned it. Ta-Daaaaaa!
It looks like a sloth and a hedgehog. It's pretty cool though. I have seen people make magnets and frame their coin collections. I liked the magnet idea, but then F-Palooza gets them and feeds them to the dog. :( Rotten is having trouble walking past the fridge these days!
ReplyDeletelol, oh you guys.
ReplyDeleteI'm too much of a stuck up coin nerd to slap a magnet on one...although it would look pretty badass.
Maybe i would do that. hmmmm. something to ponder.
there were some crazy old swedish coins in the museum in uppsala and they made me think of you. i took photos but they look like crap because i'm no photographer ok?
ReplyDeleteI AM SO MAD AT YOU FOR NOT BEING A TRAINED PHOTOGRAPHER...p.s hugs!
