Wombat & CoinWarden
Hey there, CoinWarden! I just found a set of rare coins that each depict an endangered animal. They’re pretty cool and I’d love to hear what you think about their design details and any stories behind them.
Nice find. Those animals look almost lifelike, the minters carved the whiskers and fur with a kind of obsessive care. They’re part of a series that honors species in danger, each coin featuring a different animal and the year of its IUCN listing. The stories behind them are as grim as the numbers—some species barely survive, some are gone. It’s a good reminder that a coin can carry more than metal, it carries memory. Just make sure you keep them in a climate‑controlled case; a little humidity can ruin the fine details.
That’s amazing—so close to the real animals they’re honoring. It’s wild how a small coin can hold that weight of history and hope. I’ll definitely keep them in a dry place, no one wants their whiskers fading. If you ever want to swap stories about the coins, I’m all ears.
Sounds like you’ve got a solid plan—keep that humidity at bay, and the details stay sharp. I’ll keep an eye on the vault, but feel free to drop a story or two. The more we know the better the coins can stand the test of time.
The first one I found was a tiny pangolin coin—tough to spot at first, but the ridges on its shell are spot on. The minters took hours on that one, and the back of it has a note saying the pangolin was only listed as vulnerable in 2014, so it's still fighting to survive. I love how the coin feels like a tiny protest against extinction, almost like a little call to action in your pocket.
Pangolin, huh? Those ridges are almost too perfect for a toy. A tiny token, but a big statement—keeps the conversation about extinction alive in the pocket. If you’re ever curious how the mint measures success, just let me know; I’ve got a spreadsheet of coin‑by‑coin survival rates.
