[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 893549, member: 6229"]The word "Horse" conjurs up images in people's minds. What those images are depends upon the exposure of one's sumtotal past effecting his/her's life experiences envolving horses. What do these horse terms mean to you? Apaloosa, Arabian, Belgium, Buckskin, Charger, Clydesdale, Gaited, Hackney (hack), Lipizzaner, Mustang, Paint, Pacer, Palomino, Quarter Horse, Shetland, Tennessee Walker, Thoroughbred, and Trotter. It's not my intention to equate all horse terms, breeds, and registries to currency (coins or paper), but do want you know about a few I found. Those of you, interested in "horses on currency" may enjoy the following: [B]Note: [/B]Any link to a coin or banknote for sale is not my endorsement of the particular item nor the company offering the currency nor is this disclaimer a warning against any transactions offered by the company or its affiliates. The first "Horses on currency" photo (courtesy of World Coin Gallery) features the [B][I]Eohippus[/I][/B][I][/I] which paleontologists believe is the progenitor of modern horses as the [B][I]Mastodon[/I][/B][I][/I] is to Elephants. The name [B][I]Eohippus[/I][/B][I][/I] was coined by Othaniel Charles Marsh and interprets to [B][I]Dawn Horse[/I][/B][I][/I]. This coin depicts an artist's rendition of what two [B][I]Eohippi [/I][/B][I][/I]would look like if they existed today (the animal's extinct and the artist only had fossils and sketchy data to work with). The country authorizing the coin is Bosnia-Herzegovina: [B][U]1994 500 Dinara (copper-nickel): [/U][/B][U][/U][URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine_cs.php?image=nmc8/205-20&desc=Bosnia%20and%20Herzegovina%20km20%20500%20Dinara%20(1994)%20Eohippus&src=Marc%20Kuppens&query=Bosnia%20Eohippus[/URL] Also, in 1994 a gold (0.1998 oz. AGW) coin was authorized featuring the same [B][I]Eohippus[/I][/B][I][/I] design on its reverse. The following "Horses on currency (coins)" photos I enjoyed finding are listed alphabetically by issuing entity's name.
