MANATEE COINS

Denis Loring ferreted out a manatee coin with the help of some E-Sylum readers. He had been looking for one as a gift to his wife. Your editor consulted a local club member (Corleen Chesonis) who collects images of wildlife on coins. She knew of the following issues:

* 1 cent from Guyana minted 1976-1980 (and maybe later)
* 1974 50 colones from Costa Rica - part of the Wildlife Conservation series, non-circulating legal tender

Denis reports:

"Pete Smith not only found out about this one [the Costa Rican piece], but got one for me at ANA! I gave it to Donna when she picked me up at the airport -- her grin lit up the room!"
