Here are the main differences between tanks and APCs:

    Tanks tend to have larger, longer gun barrels.

    Tanks always have a caterpillar track; APCs can have tracks or wheels.

    APCs take soldiers to and from a battlefield; a tank is intended to stay on the battlefield and take part in the action.

    Tanks have a stubby turret, and a top-mounted pivoting barrel – “autocannon” – the big long thing that fires shells.

Not all beetles are alike. This is a stag beetle - very common where I live. (Magpies like to bite their head off then leave the wriggling body. It looks very spooky). Do the San Marino coins show stag beetles? I don't remember any.

North Korea, 5 won, 2000.  Mountbatten SR-N4 hovercraft.

Any other coins showing this British invention?

Turkey, 1 lira, 2014.  Hyena.

Take a look at those lumps on the grass - bottom left and right. Think of the first three letters of "turkey" and add a "d". Am I right? I know that animals have disgusting habits, but there is no need for Turkey to show them on a coin. No wonder that country is not allowed in the EU. Is this one of a kind, or does anybody know any other coins showing this terrible theme?

I would imagine it is actually just poorly designed rocks. Certainly would be a curious thing if it isn't.

OK, I've moved it here for a while, so members can see what I've done, but later I'll delete it, since you say it was an oversight on your part.

UK, 2 pounds, 2009. 

The design shows the handwriting of Robert Burns but without his signature. Dheer's topic, Signatures on Coins, has many examples of handwriting, but always with the famous person's signature. Apart from the Dickens design, are there any others that show a famous person's handwriting but without a signature?
