You know the catalogue is wrong when...
...you google an animal, and it comes up all coins. Which is to say, you enter a search term like "Balisier Hummingbird", because that is what the Krause catalogue says is on the coin, and the results are pretty much all coin sites quoting the catalogue. But this one goes one better than that!
Contact form fixed
I am not sure when, but at some point the contact form became busticated. Now it is fixed (unbusticated). If you tried to contact me and saw an error message, I did not receive your email. Sorry about that. But now it is fixed, so go ahead and use the Contact me link if you wish.
Over 120 coins and 16 countries added!
Your Zoo Keeper has been very busy updating the Coin Zoo. Since February 2010, sixteen new countries have been added and a total of 123 new animal coins. Plus, the whole new format which I hope is easier to use and does not give you any trouble. (If the Zoo acts weirdly, please let me know!)
I have been following a "coin-a-day" approach (taking Sunday off), so there should be a new coin most days. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep this pace up through to September, at which point, the remaining 113 coins in my collection will be photographed, researched, and placed online. At that point, I will have over 650 animal coins displayed, which I estimate will represent about two-thirds of the coins issued. At that point, I may go back on "safari" to locate some of the remainder.
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.
