What about a Beaver *dressed* as Winston Churchill, though? One of a range of historical beavers.Florence Nightingbeaver: the beaver with the lamp, Beavdicea, Elizabeav 1: the virgin beaver, and so on.

I liked the Irish coins with animals on them. Apparently one priest strongly objected:
“If these pagan symbols once get a hold, then is the thin edge of the wedge of Freemasonry sunk into the very life of our Catholicity, for the sole object of having these pagan symbols instead of religious emblems on our coins is to wipe out all traces of religion from our minds, to forget the ‘land of saints,’ and beget a land of devil-worshippers, where evil may reign supreme”
Irish Creatures on Irish Coins - wash your language
It’s true – your children really can open your world a little wider. A treasure, to them, is often something you just never noticed before. One recent Sunday, at a local Dublin market that has barely changed in decades, my daughter and I wandered into a bric-a-brac stand. Just the place where a 10-year-old might […]

@Nickiquote I mean, obviously I can see his point. The corrupting force of having a horse on your currency. Utterly shocking.

LOL: Fanatical religiosity = if you're not fanatically with us then you're fanatically against us. #WTAF
I had a couple of those (the two Bob fish and the chicken) in my childhood coin collection but I didn't know about all the other animals.
Nice!
We should definitely have wildlife on all our coins and banknotes!
