Reply to comment by Ancient_Ad5270 in Tiny, 'beautiful' endangered turtle hatchlings spotted in the wild for first time in four years by Sariel007

I figured. I was actually just gently pointing out that this was not a useful way of describing the size of the turtles to a wide audience, since that coin is not universally known. We all do this, so it was not a harsh criticism; the picture cleared up the size issue, and I didn't mean to take away from the adorable-ness of the tiny turtles : )

It's an australian news article, and in the australian currency there is only a 20c coin, not a 25c coin.

​

Skimming around other currencies (euro, british pound), there is also just a 20c piece, not a 25c piece
