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!

canada_coat_of_arms.jpgThe Zoomaster has shifted his attention back to the other side of the world to Canada. Good thing, too, since the Zoomaster and the Coin Zoo are located in Canada! With millions of square kilometers of trees, rocks, and water there are lots of animals in Canada and it is fitting that some of these are celebrated on the national coinage. When the Canada section of the Coin Zoo is completed, it will have approximately 15 examples of animal coins, including several variations of the giant water rodent that is Canada's national animal.

Please use the Country menu at left to browse the Canada section of the Coin Zoo.
