The provisional government of Oregon made gold coins depicting a beaver in 1849. (I wish I owned one). Here is a Wiki link describing the coins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_Coins
A recent Canadian coin even shows what the result may be when a beaver comes close to ... well, you get the idea. (Click here http://img.ma-shops.de/kohlross/pic/18971_250-18847-1pl2-kan.jpg if the embedded image does not show.) Christian
Not a coin, but a Canadian banknote - along with the $50 from this series I believe they are the only banknotes to ever depict a beaver:
This seller from California may not quite understand what kind of animal a beaver, actually is... :too-funny: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/BELARUS-3-1992-CIRC-3-RUBLE-BEAVER-BANKNOTE-NOTE-BILL-FREE-US-SHIPPING-/121125516010 I think this seller actually meant this note: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/BELARUS-3-19...NOTE-NOTE-BILL-FREE-US-SHIPPING-/370833645800
Does this count?? Given the nature of my work, I have spent quite a few hours in 'Beavers'... I don't collect NCLT, unless it means something to me. I do have this coin in my collection... the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver.
