NEED IT!

The Zoo Keeper is looking for all circulating world coins with animals on them dated 1901 or later!

WANT LIST

WELCOME TO THE COIN ZOO!

WELCOME TO DANIEL'S COIN ZOO! The "Coin Zoo" exhibits animal coins (aka "numismatic fauna") from around the world. Eventually, all circulating coins with animals on them will be displayed. This will include every animal type coin minted around the world from 1901 to the present (over 900 pieces).

Most of the coins will be circulating issues, as opposed to special collector issues. Mints around the world have made literally thousands of special issue animal coins for collectors. But the Coin Zoo will be populated mainly with animals that were important enough to a country to put on their national circulating coinage, that is, the everyday change that citizens use in daily transactions.

Enjoy!

Zimbabwe Added! Print E-mail
Wednesday, 26 October 2005
zimbabwe_coat_of_arms.jpgZimbabwe has been added to the zoo! This currently includes three coins, with a fourth to be added once it is captured in the wild. Next up is Zimbabwe's northern neighbour Zambia, which will take care of all the 'Z' countries. After that, the zoo keeper plans to move to the other side of the world and add Canada.
