Message:: [QUOTE="W5WMW, post: 1304755, member: 25413"]Dogs and Coins Drago: No offence, but the "famous dogs" design sounds pretty ridiculous.  I'm pretty sure that most people would feel that way, as well.  I, and most coin collectors, prefer that beings depicted on coins not be based on real specific animals (such as Lady Liberty instead of presidents, etc.).  The Birds of Canada series of banknotes was probably the closest to your idea, but, again, it depicts generic birds of a certain species, not famous birds.  I just don't think that design proposition would be taken seriously by anyone. However, I have to give you respect for recognizing the value to humans of our dog-friends, and for what they've done for us, and for the holocaust of the 7,000,000+ dogs murdered each year in the United States, simply because they are unwanted. Spay and neuter until we get the population of kill shelters to zero.  Adopt a pet-friend rather than buying one.  Your local SPCA and Pound can help you learn more and find a friend right for you.  I thank you for doing so, and, if they could, I'm sure domesticated species would thank you humans.[/QUOTE]
