I'm not a big fan of those either. It does take away from the natural beauty of the metal.

You are talking about two different types of coin -- some are circulation issues, and some are NIFC.
As for the NIFC stuff, to me it's just bullion with pretty pictures and is overpriced and gimmicky.
In regard to the stuff issued for circulation, it's a novelty, sure, but if it gets more people interested in collecting, I'm all for it. If it gets people interested in collecting Canadian coins, I an definitely all for it. The fact that the colour doesn't stand up in circulation only means that the uncirculated ones I've set aside are only going to go up in value, which I don't think is a bad thing.

I agree with Wpg.
Any circulation coin that encourages a second look from a non-collector or sparks an interest in the hobby is great stuff.
My only quibble with the Moments coloured coins is their totally banged up appearance. Beyond "bag marks"

Yes MrCanada the "Armistice"quarter was put into circulation in 2008.
it was double dated 1918-2008.I saved about a half dozen when they first came out.As far as "Souvenir" goes I don't know what it means.
French for "Remember" maybe? I don't know I don't speak French myself. Can someone else help here?????
