![]() This is a 1 Kina coin from Papua New Guinea, and it features Sea & River Crocodiles. Historically, coins were made with center holes to wear the coins on a string around your neck. CommentsAnn Nolen 05/17/2009 21:11
Thought I would share a funny story told to me by my dentist's wife, Judy, when she saw this Crocodile coin. Judy and her husband went to South Carolina on a trip. When Judy's husband went out for a day of golf, he was warned that if he saw a Crocodile out of the water, to drop everything and run as fast as he could. It seems that Crocodiles can run very fast over land, and if they are out, they are looking for someone to eat for lunch! The golf went without incident. When he met up with Judy later in the day, he told her the story. Judy was a little shocked. She had been riding a bicycle around the same swampy small trails all morning, but had no idea of the danger. Wow...
