Title: Re: For The Birds Post by: triggersmob on May 31, 2010, 06:21:32 AM When I was looking for reptiles, I saw heaps of bird coins.
I just have to find time to go back through them. Here's a few to start with...

That 3rd coin from the bottom, what country is it from? :)
Title: Re: For The Birds Post by: Nevol on May 31, 2010, 08:09:37 AM Great stuff Steve! That 3rd coin from the bottom, what country is it from? :) That's another one from NZ. The NZ 6 pence also has a bird on it, Wait till Ellekitty starts posting pictures of all her birdies! Actually, there's probably a lot of them somewhere here already.

Title: Re: For The Birds Post by: Nighthawk on June 03, 2010, 04:53:40 AM You know Steve, I never really thought much about birds on U.S. coins, being the world coin collector that I am. Thanks for sharing those with us!!! :)
Title: Re: For The Birds Post by: triggersmob on June 03, 2010, 05:54:37 AM I was surprised how birds were on the U.S. coins when I started looking.
Title: Re: For The Birds Post by: Nevol on June 03, 2010, 09:07:41 AM I love all bird coins, they're great! Thanks to all for showing them. ;D
