I liked the Irish coins with animals on them. Apparently one priest strongly objected:
“If these pagan symbols once get a hold, then is the thin edge of the wedge of Freemasonry sunk into the very life of our Catholicity, for the sole object of having these pagan symbols instead of religious emblems on our coins is to wipe out all traces of religion from our minds, to forget the ‘land of saints,’ and beget a land of devil-worshippers, where evil may reign supreme”

@Nickiquote Religion is a helluva drug.

LOL: Fanatical religiosity = if you're not fanatically with us then you're fanatically against us. #WTAF
I had a couple of those (the two Bob fish and the chicken) in my childhood coin collection but I didn't know about all the other animals.
Nice!
We should definitely have wildlife on all our coins and banknotes!

@Nickiquote this is a bit like the Braintree parishioners complaining about a little bit of satanic symbolism on a church bench

IIRC we used to have a wren on the 1/4d but not any other animals.

@Nickiquote Dude needs to chill.

@Gustodon Honestly I’m not even sure the church should be that keen to have Christian symbolism on money. Give unto Caesar and all that.

@Nickiquote If they had thought it all the way through, they would have made Jesus a horse.

What about a Beaver *dressed* as Winston Churchill, though? One of a range of historical beavers.Florence Nightingbeaver: the beaver with the lamp, Beavdicea, Elizabeav 1: the virgin beaver, and so on.
@Nickiquote million dollar idea. The otaku shops are already full of 'one animal dressed as another' teddies. Why not add in historical domain characters?

@bencurthoys @Nickiquote I've just been down the bookies to put a monkey on a dog at Catford
(I think this is an antique Only Fools And Horses joke)
(this relies on you knowing that there used to be a dog-racing stadium at Catford)

@Gustodon A horse riding a donkey into Jersualem on Palm Sunday would be quite the sight.

@pikesley @bencurthoys I inferred it, despite my poor south London geography.

How’s your Catholicity this morning?
@Nickiquote It's Catholicious.

@MaierAmsden I always suffered from bad Catholicity, but then I spoke to my dentist about new Prodgate Total

#dosh #wildlife@spacemagick @Nickiquote It's called "splitting," a manipulation technique notoriously deployed by folks with Borderline Personality Disorder.

@Nickiquote I can never remember how much a monkey and a pony are supposed to be, don't let's make it worse.
I always remember "a monkey" by working backwards from the bent policeman in Steve Bell's "If..." cartoons from the 80s, who used the term "centimonkey" for £5.
