ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 10/14/2011 09:24 am I pulled a Parks Canada loonie out of the till this morning. It reminds me of a Scandinavian coin. Not at all impressed. Report this Post to the Staff
North of 49 Pillar of the Community Canada 617 Posts	Posted 10/14/2011 3:06 pm I wonder if we will find the coloured coins mixed in hap-haphazardly in rolls. Like they were with the last few Olympic coins. Report this Post to the Staff
EY_Pep Valued Member Canada 123 Posts	Posted 10/14/2011 4:24 pm I'm looking forward to finding these over the next few months! I'm not a fan of the fancy colorized coins the mint is making, they don't really look or feel like coins to me (especially since you can't touch them in the cases they're in). But these look cool and will be circulated, so I can personally examine these coins with my eyes and feel. Of course I like a shiny coin, but for me I also like to be able to hold it and let others see and touch them as well...share the experience. To each their own. Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 10/14/2011 5:36 pm Personally, I think Canadian arcade tokens are way too cartoony and they're coming out with new ones every year. What. Is. The. Point. I can't take the dollar seriously anymore. Report this Post to the Staff
augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 10/15/2011 02:01 am It is fun for a foreigner to go to the country and try and get as many as possible thought. I do agree that too many makes it not worthwhile and people get saturated, the US being the best example, how many different quarters? Like 6 million different designs! Report this Post to the Staff

stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 10/15/2011 10:15 am Hmmm? ... sadly, I'm not a huge fan of Native artwork, so I'm not a huge fan of these new coins (Note: some people absolutely love Native artwork, and obviously the people at the Canadian mint must love it, for most of their quarter series seem to be heavily influenced by it) ... nothing personal, just not my taste ... However, I do absolutely "LOVE" when the mint produces new varieties of quarters for me to collect, no matter what they look like, so I'll be snatching them up and sticking them into my quarter album (the more, the merrier!)

canuck1us Pillar of the Community United States 1002 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 2:02 pm I see that the RCM has put out a BU set for $23.95 that includes the 6 quarters, loonie & toonie. There is a picture in the NCLT forum along with other new releases of non-circulating coins. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 10/29/2011 01:48 am Got a Parks loonie in change today.Actually looks better in hand than in photos,the cartoon-like characters don't jump out at you. Still waiting for the ones I ordered from the Mint. Report this Post to the Staff
stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 10/29/2011 06:54 am I ordered a set too ... oh, and my OCD is so bad that I also ordered the "sterling silver" set just to keep my quarter collection "complete"! (there's a sucker born every minute, eh?!) Edited by stevex6 10/29/2011 07:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
RoyalCanadianMint RCM Representative 158 Posts	Posted 10/30/2011 08:32 am Interesting opinions on the designs of the new 2011 commemorative circulation coins...seems people either love them or hate them. Designs can be so subjective. Re the quarters, I saw North of 49 asking whether the coloured quarters might be found in rolls. And the answer is yes! In fact, of all the three new 25-cent circulation coins that enter circulation, half of will be coloured. As for what the animals are - since there's some confusion there - let me also confirm they are: the Orca, the Peregrine Falcon and the Wood Bison. Happy Sunday! Report this Post to the Staff
