No one knows for sure, but I am certain this will not be the last one. The coins were based on a series of insect stamps issued by Canada Post in 2007.

What makes you think so?
RCM did #1 and #5 of 11 stamps and butterfly even is not there at all

By looking at the stamp set looks like this will be the last. When looking at the stamps it was easy to see why they chose the lady bug, bee and butterfly. But if you look at the remaining stamps there isn't an insect on there that makes a lot of sense. If they do release a fourth it would most like be a catepillar on a leaf. Easy to make!

#25 stamp is a cecropia moth so it's close enough to a butterfly

I don't have any inside information about this series, just an observation.

Hi, did anyone order directly from Canada Post? I tried to order this butterfly coin, but the rep said they aren't selling it at all. Thanks in advance...

Thanks... tried calling again, but the rep says they don't carry it and there's no listing for it; only the dragonfly coin. Maybe they are out of stock?

Sold out - web page and my mint rep. Try some CP outlets. That's how I managed to get a Bumble Bee after they sold out at the Mint.

From what I understand CP changed their policies after a lot of people were calling in to order once the images were leaked a month back. I don't think you will be able to call and order anymore. Go to your local post office and ask them if they have ordered any and if you can reserve one. Probably your best chance

Thanks everyone; I'll try the CP outlets, but according to CP, they never had this coin for sale. Wondering if CP is planning on cancelling orders at a later date... anyone check their order status with CP?
