Me as well. Only ships to Canadian addresses though. Looks like there will be a toonie and quarters as well. These are all going to be circulation issues.

Sounds pretty unoriginal. I still say there should be Stanley Cup coins.... We should tell the people at the mint to stop using such flimsy looking trees on every coin.

I was ordering at 4:30 - 5:00pm , what a time , I went in 5 times to get the order right( not me) then it crashed and told me to come back later. Went back at 6:30 and all is OK now. Wait for the rest to come online.

I got my coins today at the mint in Ottawa. They are typical Winnipeg strikes, very "baggy". If you do order the free ones online, remember to cut them out of the plastic shipping sleeves ASAP. The RCM is using PVC plastic to ship those loons, because they are too cheap to use pliofilm.

Thanks for the heads up. They are ordered for sure. Only 5 per household? Looks like they will be sold out soon.

SPP-Ottawa Quote:The RCM is using PVC plastic to ship those loons Did the mint use PVC on the loons that we got last year and before? |

Yes, they used PVC for the Roughriders loon and the Navy one... not certain about others.

Thank you Chequer - just ordered mine. Can't ship in the US but that's OK.

I am not a huge fan of the design. The thing that really annoys me with the design is the HUGE LETTERING! It just kills the coin. And all the lettering takes up a good quarter of the design right in the middle. None of our past Loonies have had lettering like this. Why is the Mint all of a sudden doing this?
They are doing it with the $20 for $20 coins, and now they are a doing it with the Loonies. It is ugly, please, I beg you MINT, please stop!

I'm loathe to remove them from the original packaging as it strikes me as less valuable then, but if it's going to destroy the coins... |
