mltung Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 6:04 pm Keep in mind that even though the Royal Canadian Mint is a Crown Corporation. It is also a for profit business enterprise. It is listed at the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) with symbol MNT. I happen to own stock in the company and I believe that the current business model is the best for stockholders. The business model has changed since it went public. Report this Post to the Staff

The RCM itself is not listed on the TSX. The Mint has one shareholder...the government of Canada. It did not 'go public'. What you own are Exchange Traded Receipts (ETRs) not 'stock in the company'.

Sergio Sriblo New Member Canada 28 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 8:10 pm I spend more that $2000 dollars a year at RCM, because I also buy a few gold coins. And I'm just a regular MC Member, RCM never contacted me, if I would like to use a rep service. Even last Tuesday I did not received advanced E-mail notice, that the new product are coming out. It's only thanks to CC forum, that I found out about the new releases. Report this Post to the Staff

Dr Butcher Valued Member Canada 72 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 8:26 pm I got the email at 8 or so in the evening on the 26th. I did get the Impression Catalogue yesterday, too bad half of it is sold out already. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Ravenzcoin Valued Member Canada 300 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 8:36 pm I don't think there is anything in the May release I "must" have, but haven't seen the whole list yet. May change my mind after I see it, though! LOL Rob Report this Post to the Staff
clvlys Valued Member Canada 103 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 10:19 pm I also spend more than $2000 per year at the RCM, and if it were not for this forum I would have had no advance info on the latest release. I received no advance e-mail, and items were not posted for MC members until 3:00 pm or so on the day of the release. For my part, based on the info here I phoned the RCM the night before, identified myself as an MC member and as I was putting in an order, my rep walked in the office, so he took over. He was surprised that I had not got his advance e-mail. He sent it right away. I prefer to simply order on-line (convenient) but there is no commission for the rep. I occasionally use his help which is excellent. However, advance notice should be the norm for MC members from RCM and not a function of the rep getting an e-mail to you. BTW, his characterization of the CP taking advance orders: 'it has been a nightmare.' Report this Post to the Staff

tristen1230 Pillar of the Community Canada 516 Posts	Posted 03/29/2013 10:45 pm @clvlys - It was a nightmare for everyone. I got an E-mail about 2 hours after Website release. Did not get the impressions catalogue yet. Report this Post to the Staff

jsinger21 Pillar of the Community Canada 871 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 07:52 am I've probably spent too much this year at the mint including 3 x $5 1912-1914 coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Hoop130 Valued Member Canada 333 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 10:03 am As much as I would like to know the inside scoop on this May issue, I have to limit my excitement and deal with credit cards issues first. Report this Post to the Staff
