Dogs on coins

Have you ever wondered why us coins are so boring looking? I have. Let's face it, dead presidents and landmarks can only be done so many times. Why don't we take a look at what other countries have done. For example, China has put dogs on coins (see the photo below).


Other countries have put dogs on coins too. Here is a list of just some of them:
  • Gibraltar
  • Turkey
  • Australia (2006 - the major dog breeds to commemorate the year of the dog)
  • Canada (sled dogs of course)
  • Ireland
