    Don't forget that amphibians are a valid part of the subject matter as well. In that case, here is something that I pulled from my change dish earlier today.

    @Bradley Trotter - I never noticed the frog on the El Yunque quarter! Neat. I never pay attention to my pocket change anymore, since I need a loupe or magnifier now to make out any of the finer details. But I did just get a folder for the National Parks quarters since @cheeech9712 gifted me a couple of the recent West Point issues. Now I reckon I'll have to start checking my change again.

    Where were we? Oh. Yeah. Reptiles and amphibians.

    Here's a frog. But it's an "aftermarket" addition rather than one produced by the mint.

    In case that's considered a cheat, here's an unfortunate reptile, too.

    I had to search all over to find this one today, and had to re photo it as the original had been lost. I just knew I had a Fiji coin with a turtle on it. 1942 S Fiji sixpence 1942 S Fiji 6 p.jpg

    Wow, I've never had - or seen - a coin from Lesotho. The global coverage of your collection is impressive.
