When I was looking for reptiles, I saw heaps of bird coins.
I just have to find time to go back through them.

Here's a few to start with...

That's another one from NZ.  The NZ 6 pence also has a bird on it,

Wait till Ellekitty starts posting pictures of all her birdies! Actually, there's probably a lot of them somewhere here already.

Very nice coins Steve! However I think that just might be an angel or maybe some type of godess on that first coin you have pictured.   

[Triggersmob]

That's me done, I'm all birded out.

You know Steve, I never really thought much about birds on U.S. coins, being the world coin collector that I am. Thanks for sharing those with us!!!   

[Triggersmob]

I was surprised how birds were on the U.S. coins when I started looking.

[Nevol]

I love all bird coins, they're great! Thanks to all for showing them. 

[ElleKitty]

I've got a few more, forgive me if there are duplicates!  I can't remember all the coins posted so far.  ^^  What can I say, I'm a bird brain.























.... Okay, okay.  I stop now.

[Triggersmob]

Nice coins, Kitty, I don't think any of those were posted before.

Birds certainly seem to be a popular topic for coins.

[Nighthawk]
