The Chinese Golden Coin Turtle is a rare variety of turtle. Its bright color and contrasting pattern make it a beautiful sight.
Being so beautiful has given them a high market and is resulting in their slow disappearance.
In Vietnam, villagers can trade a hatching golden coin turtle for an adult buffalo, and in China, an adult golden coin turtle can even be traded for a house.
