lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 03/10/2006 01:27 am Name of the animals featured on the reverses of our circulating decimal coinage are as follows: Feathered Tail Glider on the 1 cent Coin. Frilled Neck Dragon Lizard on the 2 cents Coin. Echidna on the 5 cents piece. Lyrebird on the 10 cents piece. Platypus on the 20 cents piece. Report this Post to the Staff
demonboy279 Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 03/10/2006 02:15 am Thanks alot. The back of the 10 cent reminded me of a peacock but I could tell it wasnt so I didnt know for sure. they all look familiar but I believe the only one I knew for sure was the frilled neck dragon lizard and the platypus. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

I thought an emu was an ostrich, an echidna was an hedgehog. Thanks to the Aussie friends in this forum, now I can tell the difference between a koala and a kiwi[:p] Report this Post to the Staff

tonyozcan Valued Member Australia 65 Posts	Posted 03/16/2006 7:43 pm The Lyre bird on the 10 cents If you collect these it would be ideal to look at them closely they are common to have the odd cud(blobs on them). These are sometimes common on the 10 centers. Report this Post to the Staff

RenaL Pillar Of The Community Turkey 1205 Posts	Posted 03/17/2006 4:41 pm I only have Foster's here. a lot of local and a few European brands too. Anyway, this is going towards becoming a drink thread. Although I have knowledge on drinks no less then about coins, lets keep it coin related Any Morgan beers, Euro wines or Buffalo whiskeys out there? LOL Report this Post to the Staff
