I reckon there would be more countries than I have, just that I haven't stumbled across them yet.

BTW Barry, do you have any with the tiny bird in the Coat of Arms/ Shield?

I have a few, but can't remember exactly which countries. A meander through my folder should identify them. That's a job for the back-burner.

As many countries issue coins with a coat of arms and many of these have a bird of some sort on it your birdie collection has the potential to expand quite a lot more Nevol :):good:

I already have quite a few of those with a bird in the Coat Of Arms, but I reckon I've only scratched the surface. All up I have 530 'birdie' coins and am adding more whenever possible.

Going thru some old magazines looking for a Sydney Mint article i once read and found a few more Birds listed.

Edit...while i've got it out here is the first page of the RAM story for anyone interested.

Thanks Basil. Looks like there's a few I don't have. :yahoo:

Will have to investigate them at a later date.
