New Release: $2 Circulation 5-Pack - War Of 1812

Funny story. We had planned to go to Montreal for a scientific conference in late June. I was reading in the current issue of Coin World about the War of 1812 toonie before we left and I was mad when I read that the coin could only be ordered by Canadian citizens. While in Montreal I collected a nice example of a few coins, like olympic quarters and one quarter with a breast cancer center inlay(?). The day before we left, I got some change and noticed the toonie was brand new and stuck it in my back pocket so I wouldn't spend it. Two days later I found the coin and realized it was the 1812 toonie. So, despite my wish to get one, I wound up getting one handed to me and didn't even realize it. Doh!
