Very nice looking coins Steve. Now only if the U S would make some nice animal coins instead of the S O S (Same Old Stuff....then again, maybe what you were thinking.)

Thanks, Goose.
It would be nice to see some animals on U.S. coins. They seem to be stuck in a rut.
I think apart from the reverse on the State quarters, all you ever see is the eagle.

Good grief Joe, there's literally millions of coins out there with "animals" on them. The list would probably be the length of a double roll of toilet paper! (2-Ply, that is!)  LOL   ;D
