    In the spirit of the holiday...

    here is the closest item to a coin that I found with a Wild Turkey on it:

    Token - New Orleans Mardi Gras Krewe Wild Turkey 1978 (Aluminum 38mm)
    Figure of wild turkey
    FISH and GAME of NORTH AMERICA
    WILD TURKEY
    1978
    Figure of cartoon buzzard (vulture) wearing boots
    JEFFERSON CITY BUZZARDS
    MARDI GRAS
    SINCE 1890
    N.O.L.A.

    I have seen some tokens and medals with turkeys on them,
    but no circulating coinage.

    Anyone else have any?

    :)

    Don't have any turkey coins, but I saw a few turkeys on the side of the road yesterday stomping around.

    Well if Franklin would have gotten his wish, turkey's would have been easy, bald eagles on coins would have been the rarity.
