Not released yet, but these are the reverse designs for the U.S. "America the Beautiful" State Quarters. There will be birds !

One of them is named after you.

I am wondering what Nevol thinks about this coin from Austria which will be issued on September 6th.
The picture is from an online dealer. It's the only one I found that also shows the ''glow in the dark effect.''

This coin is the fourth in a series of twelve coloured 3 Euro coins (''The Animal Series'') by the Austrian Mint. Issue price is 9,90 Euro. But it's very, very tough to get one for this price. Mintage is only 50.000. Price on the second market for this coin: around 40 Euro.

I think I can guess what Nancy will say, but I'll wait and see.

Very pretty Kingfishers, but too pricey for my purse.

I can totally understand. 40 Euros/60 AUD (on the secondary market) is a lot for a 3 Euro coin even as beautiful as this one.

But I am pretty certain Nevol will be able to afford these new coins from San Tomé e Príncipe which will enter circulation in early (?) 2018. They slash a couple of zeros from their currency (aka ''currency reform''):

They may interest me, depends if they're real money or NCLT. Even if they are NCLT I might still be interested.

No, these coins are not NCLT. They will be the new circulation coinage of the country starting in 2018.

Very nice Humpy.

Not quite sure this classifies as a bird.

How about a birdie from Wirtland ?

Definitely. This looks gorgeous in the light. I'm amazed by how colorful this is for a peso

Wow,  Zoin's Peso is a beauty. Here is my favorite 2018 "America the Beautiful" State Park Quarter ...

A very neat feature of this coin is that the Red ring is translucent.
