To the best of my knowledge, for CIRCULATION, there were 25,274,000 2006 uncrowned single lower date toonies minted; 2,502,500 of the lower 1996-2006 double dated uncrowned 10th anniversary coins with the old ML mint mark; 2,502,500 of the upper 1996-2006 double dated uncrowned "Churchill" coins with the new RCM mint mark. All were minted in 2066 PLUS in 2007, 5,040,000 uncrowned single upper date toonies with the new RCM mint mark were minted. Everything I have read from other people indicates that the lower dated 1996-2006 uncrowned old ML mint mark coins are only in sets, but as my post above indicates, the mint replied to me that in fact, there are such coins in circulation. Unless sets are considered circulation, I will keep looking.

Thank you. I downloaded all of the Royal Canadian Mint ( RCM) Annual Reports from their website (going back to 1999) and then searched through Government of Canada archives (as much as I could given the changes over the years in who the Mint reported to), and took the information in the Appendices to create a spreadsheet of what, how much, and when, etc... The information in the reports has numbers minted, years minted (which might not be the same as the numbers minted since they minted some coins early in one year, all of the yean on the coin, and then a few of them the next year in a few cases). It also shows the breakdown of circulation coin types minted. A good resource. I then check the coin guides for other details.

@TwoDollarTwoKnee:

I agree with the numbers given of the 2006 lower and upper single date Toonies. I deduced the same from the RCM reports.

However, I disagree with the figures for the double date Toonies.
In my opinion, the RCM means in its 2006 report with ''Two Dollar 10th Anniversary'' the upper double date Toonie (bear with aurora borealis) ONLY.
5.005.000 were minted.

My world coin cataloge (no, not KM) also states that the 2006 lower double date Toonie was only released in sets (and not for general circulation).
I do not know how much of those lower double date Toonies were minted. But the figure is certainly way below the 1.000.000 mark.

Reading through this thread I noticed ICCS does not certify the German planchet. Do any of the others still certify them as I have some I would like to have graded?

I found the news releases from the mint to be ambiguous on the bottom double date being issued for circulation so emailed them and received a reply that they were issued for circulation. No one else agrees with this and I am going to write the mint directly since they have removed the email option to them regarding issues such as this (or so it seems when you try to do so). I am coming to believe that you are all correct but want to confirm this for my own piece of mind.

Sorry to dredge up an older thread, I have found this site a couple times when trying to find some information, and signed up before - but I can't recall if I've ever posted before...

Aanyway I have been continuing to look for a couple different toonies and today on a whim I grabbed a roll from the bank.

In that roll I believe I found a non-circulation, somewhat scarce toonie;
I found a 2000 non-knowledge non-W toonie - this one's been circulated for a while, but still wow...

Has anyone ever figured out what this particular coin's mintage is supposed to be?

Considering THIS link suggests that the total 'regular' & 'W' mintage to be at 186,986 - and the one I was looking for has a mintage of 1,531,000(2012 old design) - I seemed to have hit the virtual jack-pot!
(too bad that in it's shape, it probably will not ever be worth anything).

My mother has been saving the 2000 toonie with the polar bear and cubs because someone told her they would be valuable one day. Any truth to this?

probably not.
value can generally be attributed to three variables:
1) metal content
2) production scarcity
3) production error

The regular production/circulation '00 toonie has none of these.
