The Thai sea turtle that lived in a wishing pond and ate nearly 1,000 coins over the years has died.
The 25-year-old turtle, named Omsin (Thai for "bank") was found with an engorged stomach full of coins back in February. She had a reportedly successful seven-hour surgery, but went into a coma later due to complications, the vet who operated on her said on Facebook.
