Obviously my life is destined to have frequent encounter with these beautiful animals, from a very young I have great admiration for the largest animal in the universe, I am passionate about their intelligence and the way of living in community. Yesterday I received a telegram from the Argentine mail, where I was informed that I had to pay taxes for introducing products from other countries.

A few months ago I bought two collectible coins online, one from Australia and the other from India. The Australian currency was printed with a Koala and how could it be otherwise the Indian currency came with a beautiful elephant, it is very evident that I am deeply connected with these animals.

It is a collectible product, which inside has printed "Ganesha" The name is a compound of two words "wins" means group of people or crowds of people and the word "sha" refers to "master", " Mr". Others associate the word "gana", to ganas. A set of divine beings. In short, the meaning of the name is associated with the "Lord of the Ganas" or Lord of the Crowds "
