I like the swordfish coin in the first scan AJ, I think it's from Singapore. Sort of reminds me of our Platypus 20c.

Here's a few more for you.

Nice one's Steve and I knew I had more and the 5 cent reminded me of the fiji coins I forgot about and the 50 thebe reminded me I have other fish one's in with the bird at the moment and that's the trouble when there's more than one theme on a coin so I get lost as to where I want to put it :(

I know what you mean AJ.  I usually try to get as many copies of the coin as I need to be able to slot it in wherever it's needed.  

Just imagine a birdie, tiny, 1943 coin from let's say woop-woop.  That's 4 different collections that I could put it in, so I'd need 4 of the blighter.  It can get very confusing.

Most people don't know, that there really is a Woop Woop in W.A.
Don't think they produce any coins though Nancy. :)

That's my first real coin from Tuvalu, my only other one is Granny bait.
Actually, it fits this thread too, so here it is....

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, you do love me :blush2: give me that coin and I love you long time :give_heart: so now I suppose it comes down to how much you love me..I'd be right in saying lots and lots wouldn't I :scratch_one-s_head:

Now you be nice in reply :winkextra:

Yeah I'm not much on granny bait but I do like dolphins and I like silver so I suppose it could just scrape past :)

This coin actually belongs to my wife. I gave it to her for Valentines day a couple of years ago.
So, sorry AJ, I won't be sending it to you. :)
