Hey, I found a little‑known coin from the 1930s that actually shows a sea otter. The mint was trying to raise awareness of their decline, and the coin's tiny engraving still tells that story. It's amazing how a small detail can link currency and conservation. Have you ever seen a coin that actually helped a species or raised an environmental cause? I'd love to hear what you think about that kind of historical intersection.

I’ve seen a few coins that tried to do that, the most famous is the U.S. “Great Basin” series that showed the endangered sagebrush lark in 1979 – not huge impact, but it was a symbolic nod. There’s also a Canadian “Endangered Species” commemorative from the ’90s that carried a little jaguar. The thing is, a coin can raise awareness, but it takes more than a shiny metal piece to stop a species from vanishing. Still, it’s cool to see history try to remember the ones we’re supposed to protect.
