Hoard of coins extracted from sea turtle

Thai veterinarians on Monday removed 915 coins from a 25-year-old sea turtle which had been swallowing items thrown into her pool for good luck, eventually limiting her ability to swim.The coins and other objects removed from the turtle named Omsin - piggy bank in Thai - weighed 5 kg (11 lb).The green sea turtle, living at a conservation center in Sriracha, Chonburi, east of the Thai capital of Bangkok, had been finding it hard to swim normally because of the weight.
