There are lots of animal coins that still need to be found in the wild! If you are a collector or dealer and can help with this list, it would be greatly appreciated. Generally, I am looking for brilliant uncirculated examples of everything. However, there are always exceptions. For example, I find copper-nickel coins often look superior with light toning. Also, there are some very special coins that I would be happy to purchase in circulated condition, assuming they have nice eye appeal.

Please note that the animals listed below are not guaranteed accurate. I do not research the coins until I put them online, and that is when I discover the errors in the coin catalogues. However, I estimate it is 99% correct.

NOTE: There may be coins that are not shown in the zoo, and are not on this list. That may be because I have it in my collection, but have not got around to adding it to the zoo yet. Or, I may not know about it, especially if it is a recent issue.
