A 25-year-old female sea reptile named Omsin, but was also known as Bank, had to undergo a seven-hour operation to remove the money she ingested, which weighed in at five kilograms, because it started to crack her hard outer layer and caused an infection.

According to Sky News, the coins were thrown into Omsin's habitat as part of a good luck ritual in Thailand.

However, the poor animal also had to have two fish hooks taken out of her stomach too.

A public appeal has since been launched in a bid to raise approximately £350 to help pay for her surgery.

Meanwhile, Omsin has been put on a liquid diet whilst she recovers.
