A 25-year-old turtle, nicknamed Bank, was found barely able to breathe at an abandoned man-made pond in Thailand. She had swallowed 2,000 Thai baht ($57) coins that people threw into the pond wishing for good luck.
Bank’s stomach was swollen, and her shell was cracked and infected. At first, vets thought she had a tumor. After CT scanning, they found a huge lump of coins (7.8 in x 9 in x 7.8 in) in her stomach.
Bank was so sick that she could barely move or swim. Vets hope to operate a surgery on Bank later when her overall health condition improves. A total of 15,000 baht ($ 430) has been raised to cover the cost of the surgery and treatment.
