This may be a weird request, but does any one know of any coins with any type of pond theme? I own a pond supply shop and as a customer rewards program, instead of those tags that go on your keychain for frequent shopper rewards, we give out wooden nickels (wooden dollars, actually - our logo on one side, Morgan obverse on the other), 1 wooden dollar redeemable for anything for each $50 you spend, in effect a 2% rebate. This has been very popular, so when I saw the Latvian coin with a waterlily on it (my avatar) we bought a bunch and with any pond kit you get one Lat, redeemable for a $39.95 waterlily. If anyone actually brought in a Lat from somewhere else, we'd still give them a lily. Also popular, so we are thinking of trying something else if we can find anything appropriate. Found a Polish 2 Zlotys with a pond turtle on it we are thinking of doing some kind of program with, but would love to find a coin with a koi or goldfish on it. Does anyone know of one?

Thanks, but those are all saltwater types. Really looking for koi or goldfish only on fish, for plants maybe cattails if that exists on a coin, or non-stylized lotus.

Yeah- just looked at it at https://www.(131231) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed - that's perfect- thanks, nohope! Now I just need to find that 1 cent or 5 cent in a roll quantity. Had to get my roll of Waterlily Lats direct from Latvia. Any others? |

Yeah, but almost any excuse to combine my coin collecting hobby with work. It's close enough if I can find enough of them.

There's a lotus on a Pakistani or Bangladesh coin, don't remember which now, but it was way to hard to recognize.

Thanks all. Gxseries, that Singapore coin would be perfect if it was a small denom base metal, but I just couldn't see giving out a gold coin when someone spends $500, good for a free $25 fish. Found the Guyana 5 cent piece at Educational Coins in lots of 100 for $19.50, so I'll work up some kind of promotion around it.

How about a badly verdigris coin for a discount on pond scum remover or de-scaler? Penny for your thoughts.  |
