Not quite what you're looking for, but Antartican currency has penguins on it!

Also, 1991 Cook Islands 50 Dollars, 1998 Falkland Island penny, 2007 South Georgia & Sandwich Islands £2 silver dollar.

I'm sure there are more!

 

Penguin....now THAT is a tough coin. I thought my animal was bad, a rhino on an ancient coin. I have a few, but they are all quadrans of Domitian, both left and right.

 

Here is a proof penguin piece currently for sale on Ebay.

Weird, this is the same kind of penguin, same country, but a different coin as one listed above http://cgi.ebay.com/YELLOW-EYED-PEN...New-Zealand-2011-/370493293322#ht_2419wt_1139

 

Good luck!

I never could find a coin with a turkey on it.

 

Ah, you just need to be a little flexible: http://www.muenzauktion.com/aurich/item.php5?id=3709
Strictly speaking, the piece depicts the "Western Capercaillie". But ...

Here is a gold coin from France (Int'l Polar Year) depicting two penguins:

I have one of the Andorra Capercaillie coins,
a Capercaillie is not a turkey.
