Species or species ( always an "s", both singular or plural ) means a particular type or sort of living creature, one that reproduces after its kind, as animals, or plants from seeds--
A male and female of the same species can produce viable offspring which will have the ability to reproduce.
Most people agree that all human beings belong to the same species.
At first only one species was threatened, but now several species may be at risk.
Species is also used figuratively, to means a distinct sort or kind--
This is a completely different species of argument.
Specie or specie ( never an "s", no matter the quantity, always singular ) means metal money or coins, in the general sense of a type of money--
They insist on being paid in kind or in specie--no paper money.
Specie has an intrinsic value, since it is made of metal.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"The new specie will be a set with pictures of the different endangered species."
Note--"specious" means sounding logical, or seeming right,but making little sense, or actually deceptive--
Think about it; the reasoning is specious and the claims unfounded.
