Came up with this article on How to Build a Coin Zoo.

You must be logged in to see this link.

Its fun for kids and big kids too. Thanks to HCBTT for the idea that lead to my own coin zoo.

Do others here have coin zoos as well?

There is a link in the Article to Daniel's Coin Zoo. Don't know who he is but a fantastic collection.

Someone (Jade?) should sponsor a coinzoo contest in 2010...

Prizes for most overall, most mammals, fish, birds, etc.

It would make going to the coinshop interesting..."I need as many coins with fish on them as possible!"

"You're not really gonna throw that out...are you"?

Young Ant has a Coin Zoo and a Coin Navy. Coin Navy is his fave.

Somebody took the concept and created a website a few years ago.

My zoo is overrun with beavers. They must be multiplying.
