Kathy,  Thank you.  I'm glad that you like the photos.  I did find them just across the Gulf of Mexico on a beach in Veracruz.

A fistful of these would be fun, but I doubt Clint Eastwood would do a movie about it.

Dan,  I can't visualize Clint with a fistful of these dollars, either.

Gary,

Must be something you see the further South you go. I've never seen them around here.

Saw a lot of sand dollars last January when I joined the beach cleanup in Hampton Roads on Fishermans Island National Wildlife Refuge - not open to people only for cleanups.  We saw a lot of trash, but also a lot of sanddollars.  Thanks for reminding me of that day!  Loved it!

Gary,

Nice photo and title to go along with it. Are they still called sand dollar in Mexico? :)

Michael, It's fun to have a fistful -- but they won't buy much.  Thanks for stopping by.

Rich,  I've heard that they can be found as far North as Maine, but I've only seen them in Florida or México.

Bethany,  That beach cleanup sounds like a great event.  And I'm glad that there was more to it than just trash.

Steve,  Thank you.  They are usually called  "galleta de mar" (sea biscuit)in México, but can be "dólar de arena" (sand dollar)  or "bizcocho de mar" (sea biscuit).

Charles,  I think it is always time for a trip to the beach.

The title really drew me in regarding what I was going to be looking at, sand dollars remind me of trips to Long Beach, WA, what a good time that was.

These are cool.  I love the beach and anything that has to do with it.  Unfortunately we rarely see whole sand dollars here because of the rough trip to shore.

Jim & Maria,  I've always enjoyed the beach.  And it is a treat when you find things like the sand dollars.
