Yeah, but who has their "loyal cow, buffalo, or ox beside them? But that is not the point. The buffalo was not loyal to humans, they were an amazing resource. Same with cows! They helped us survive and without them we would not be here with out them. The buffalo really deserved to be on the nickel. |

I think there could be an animal on coins and currency, but not a dog. The BEP likely won't like it, and the public might not get why a president was removed so that a dog could be on the bill. However, they may like the idea of an animal that deserves to be on a bill, like an eagle.
But that's just my opinion

Sorry, but I disagree. I don't care if the eagle is the national animal of the U.S. and with all due respect to cows and buffalos, there are plenty of police, military, service, sled, fire etc, dogs that serve man kind and become real heroes. But if you think an animal should be placed on a coin or a bill for supplying clothing to tribles, let's put a North American Red Fox on a coin or note. I have nothing against cows or buffalos, but I'm getting tired of seeing eagles on our money. National animal or not. Just like putting a false person like Lady Liberty would be pointless in my view. I'd rather use our currency for the purpose it serves now: to honor certain men, women and animals that actually did something for the country. No offense.

I like dogs. I also like cats.  How about a new series... Presidential Dogs and/or Cats.  |

Dogs aren't really as a symbol for a country. The animals you mention are native wildlife that came to symbolize what's special and unique to our area. I love dogs just not sure how that would happen outside of Canada haha.

Well, at least one of the Native American dollar Coins featured a Gray Wolf. If I were in Japan, I'd suggest a "Ninetails" on a coin or a bill, which is of a type of white fox that can have one to nine tails, and the more tails the fox has, represents how strong, powerful and wise the fox has gotten, with the Ninetails being the strongest, wisest, and most powerful. I'm guessing a Onetail has to earn all of its other eight tails through learning and evolving. Edited by Fox

I am thinking that a horse as a subject might be a good choice. Balto was a working sled dog. A horse would be much more recognizable individually as a symbol of mans relationship with animals.
