I saw this on the news, and Oh my Gosh I want one!!! I love it! it's so adorable! Pachyrhinosaurus are the most adorable dinosaurs in my opinion...

This is P. lakustai no? This is such a cool coin, I wonder where I can get one.

I have a friend who goes to Kamloops BC every year (my ex actually). I'll tell him to bring back some for me.

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

Predictably, I'm thrilled about this!

Only 25,000 will be made. Better be quick!

How is this thread not mentioning the Quetzalcoatlus and Tylosaurus, also GITD, also from the same series, also from the same artist (Juliius Csotonyi)? I don't have the Pachyrhinosaurus, but I have the others.

I had to dig through some strata to find this thread but I thought it is worth reviving to show off some coins.
Most of mine are elongated coins. I don't actively collect coins but I typically get any EC's I really like.

This one is a Canadian twenty dollar coin, art by Julius Csotonyi:

Do these count?

I know, I know, bird coins are a dime a dozen (pun intended) and thus maybe shouldn't count as part of this thread, but to this day, I'm still in awe that accipitrid vultures have been used on coins. It doesn't get much better than this in my opinion.
