If flightless birds can do, then so can castrated corporate wonks!

Wow.....I guess I didn't think about how many coins feature birds. Interestingly, I do not have one german state coin with a bird on it.

Y'all know...for this thread to really cook, you should include the name of the species depicted.

Yeah, he has 'stars upon thars'! Actually, he's a phoenix, but the resemblance is uncanny to the sneeches. I looked this coin up on Wildwinds and found that there are actually varieties with no star in addition to this one. Hmmm... makes you wonder....

Congratulations on that one.

It's the scarcest denomination of the gold series and a tough coin to find so clean (usually very baggy).

Udo · March 26, 2008 4:25AM

Ok, actually no bird on that coin, what is uncommon for a German coin.

But today I learned from a friend, what it means to raise the middle finger to someone:

To give someone the bird

Why did i miss that in my English lessons

In Germany we call this a: "Stinkefinger"

Wow, I am just going to assume that doesn't mean in the German culture what it means in American culture
