USA Joins the Coin Zoo
The latest country to join the zoo is the United States of America.
Over the years, the number one question I have been asked is why I don't have any coins from the USA. The answer was that I do have coins from the US, I just haven't gotten around to adding them to the zoo yet.
Coin Zoo Gets Upgrade
About two-and-a-half years ago I decided to take a little break from building my Coin Zoo. At the time, I figured I would get back at during Christmas break -- in 2007, that is. Then in mid-2008 I thought I would get back at it during Christmas break -- in 2008, that is.
Now, just after Christmas break 2009, I decided to get back at it. But, before I started adding more coins to the zoo, there was another little issue to take care of first. Actually, three issues.
White Lion Cubs Born at Ghamadan Zoo
Today the Coin Zoo received a rather unusual communication. It came from the Ghamadan Zoo in Amman, Jordan announcing the birth of five white lion cubs on 27 August, 2007.
At first I thought it might be a scam, since the communication seemed to be soliciting money. However, on closer inspection it turns out to be a case of mistaken identity: The Business Development Manager of the zoo mistook Daniel's Coin Zoo for a real zoo!
