Firmly in favour of this. Bring on the beavers, I say. Cash could make a comeback.
@Nickiquote Which beavers though? There’s literally thousands of them, all wearing their woggles and swearing fealty to Lord Baden-Powell

@Nickiquote I can never remember how much a monkey and a pony are supposed to be, don't let's make it worse.
@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)

There's an early Dylan song, I Shall Be Free No. 10:
I set my monkey on a log
And ordered him to do the dog
He wagged his tail
And shook his head
And then he went and did the cat instead. -

@Bez_Lightyear “Oh look, a rare hairy tenner”.
@Nickiquote @Bez_Lightyear As opposed to a hairy tenor, which is more in Williams' and Hawtrey's territory.

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 I mean, obviously I can see his point. The corrupting force of having a horse on your currency. Utterly shocking.

@Waxingtonknee The sow on there has piglets, strongly implying that it has had sex, and out of wedlock too, as pigs cannot marry!
