    How about a cereal company's cartoon bear mascot on a freebie-coin 2X2 that you found in a cereal box? I miss cereal-box prizes.

    The OP said "Coins with Bears." It did not specify that the bear had to be ON the coin, so~

    ...Sugar Bear always had that "sleepy stoner" look to him.

    => ahahaha, I totally disagree ...

    => that cool cereal-box coin is a winner in the bear coin category "and" gets extra style-points for being super-cool retro cereal box cool ...

    => I'm giving that thread-addition top marks => winna winna, chicky dinna!!

    :rolleyes:

    Here are two proof Canadian $2 that SpiritYoda sent me, along with a silver version of an Austrian 5 euro that I previously posted in copper. I only have one side shown 5 euro.jpg 2000 canada 2 dollars proof.jpg 2014 austria 5 euro silver.jpg 2016 canada 2 dollars proof.jpg because I didn't break the seal on the package yet.

    Yup => the answer was hiding within the first and second posts at the top of this page, my coin-friends!! (both Hiddendragon & myself seem attracted to these cool bear-walkin' beauties!?)

    S-Yoda => here are a couple of similar examples (the top example shows a slightly less toned version of my 1/3 Thaler sweetie) ...

    http://www.ebay.de/itm/9267-ANHALT-...ICH-CHRISTIAN-1-3-Taler-1799-HS-/360416571261


    ... the second link shows a 1/6 Thaler (it is half the price and still very cool) ...

    as cool as I think those look.... I will stick to my toned Canadian 50 cents and 25 cents coins and my griffin German States/Baden coins for a while. come April coin show in Vegas I was going to get 1 world gold coin....I had my eye on a sweet Austria gold coin from my favorite dealers. keep your fingers crossed that I will have money saved up by then.

    Here is a really tiny bear. :) Went to the World Money Fair this weekend and (among other things) got this Australian $1 coin, at the Royal Australian Mint's booth. It comes with a special WMF privy mark ...

    au_bb.jpg

    Here is a closeup photo of the bear (Downies); my camera won't do that. Last year the RAM did the same thing with a little Ampelmann, now they picked the bear. And in case you don't know what or who "Buddy Bear" is, have a look here.

    (Felling spixed.)

    I also collect Australian coins so it's a good combination for me.
