Just dawned on me for a Country that is completely surrounded by the oceans, we do not have any coins that depict a "true" fish...we have a $5.00 Great White Shark and a $10.00 Whale.

I have a friend that will be spending a few weeks in Singapore this Fall and then onto India for a couple more weeks. I hope to get a pile of new coins when she returns.

Injecting a little ancient flavour to this thread:
New-Theme-Thread,-It's-Coins-With-Fish-On-Them!
a small bronze coin from Cunbaria, ancient Greco-Roman colony somewhere on the Spanish-Portuguese coast, not far from Cadiz, circa 100 BC. The fish is a tuna.

Quite a few of the early Spanish city-states seem to have issued coins with fish on them. This is the only one I've got.
