    I collect a few specific things. Two of them are coins and turtles. I know the 2013 Sacagawea Dollar features a turtle on the reverse. Does anyone know of any other coins that feature turtles in their designs? tmp_3232-2013-174992424.jpg

    I think I got a Tuvalu coin metal detecting. It was a country I never heard of and I had to look it up.
    Here's one with a turtle.

    Yeah the Aegean turtles are pretty expensive for a good one. Unfortunately I don't have one myself, would love to though.
    Actually I found ancients to be suprisingly affordable compared to moderns both have their high and low dollar coins.
    But everyone has their own taste, :)

    There is a cool hard times token. I think it's illustrious predecessor. Yes that's it google it. Very cool and not to pricey for a decent coin

    Oh my friend, do I have the turtles for you. I also collect turtle coins. I currently have 44 of them. Here is a thread on the subject I started awhile back. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/turtles.278742/

    I just added my newest ones to that thread.

    Thanks hiddendragon. I especially like that 5 pence from St. Helena & Ascencion, since my given name is Jonathan.

    Australia and more specifically the Perth mint have quite a few turtle coins

    I really like how the octopus looks and how it takes up the space on the coin.

    It looks like it wants to gently caress the denomination.
