Barbados dollar 1973-1998
Bermuda dollar 1970
Cook Islands 50 cent
Cuba Peso (KM 84)
Cyprus 500 mils 1981
Poland 1971 10 zlotych
Seychelles (several coins)
Singapore 20 cent 1967-1985
Slovenia Tolar 1986-2004

I'll post some pictures when I get the time to pull these coins from my collection.

Very interesting coins. I would probably collect these by genus and species. Anyone have a freshwater angelfish coin?

Great info and links. I have one from Cyprus and a few from Barbados. I just collect them as I run across them. This will help speed up the collecting process. Thanks.
