Can anyone find any information about this fish and leave it in this topic? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 09:45 am The "fish" depicted is the logo of the Central Bank of West African States, which issues coins and notes for use in eight West African countries. You can see the logo on the bank's website (in French). As for what it actually is, this Google book on the marine life of West Africa indicates that it's a sawfish, as rendered into a mask and a traditional symbol of power and wealth in the region. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
