Papua New Guinea. 20 Kina 2008 Bank of PNG commemorative. Just love the wild boar and it's definitely got a devilish twinkle in its eye.

Definately a cool note. Thanks for sharing. Wild boars creep me out a little though.

Two cats added (on one note). Costa Rica 10,000 colones, 2005. There's a very subtle face of a jaguar in the underprint to the left of the puma.

"About how many animals in the zoo now?"
Individual ones on the notes? Maybe about 350-400 (I fall asleep every time I try to count them). Individual species? I think about 70-75.

The last PNG 20 kina commemorative in the catalog is 35$US in unc (mine is a new unlisted one). But I buy from a supplier at a little over face value (currently $7.58). I probably wouldn't have paid more than $10 for mine.

Well, here's a new one (for me anyway). Angola 10 Kwanzas 1999. With a nice pair of Palanca Negra (Giant Sable antelope) on the back. Wouldn't want to get on the business end of those horns!
