I hope it's proof so it doesn't drop in value because of MILK SPOTS.

It is not in the bullion category.
Did you notice milk spots on 20for20?

Do not think that this a possible danger.

The milk spots appear due to the way they make the bullion, the 20 for 20 coins are made differently and do not generate milk spots. But Toning (as far as I know)

I do not favour any hockey team as I am not that interested in hockey, but I'll support any Canadian team.

Hoping that this will be as nice as some of the 20 for 20.

What I think happened is that the mint took heed of our grumbling and launched a campaign to trick us into believing what was too good to be true. If I gave you a slug and stamped it with letters saying $5 I doubt you would give me $5 for it even as I am well trusted. A minting charge is one thing, but beating the consumer over the head is quite another.

Finally got used to the $20 for $20. That's quite a jump for the average person. Wish the Mint would have introduced the $50 for $50 before the $100 for $100. Less shocking, more affordable... wonder if they have overplayed their hand?

The truth with LEGAL TENDER... is that the government issued this to be a "legal tender" for goods or services exchange between individuals and/or commercials. Circulated ones are just, as their name, circulating coins... so well recognized. NCLT are non-circulated... so not recognized and not accepted in many places. This is the difference, just imagine the 20for20 become so popular one day that everybody knows them well... any business could decide to accept them and eventually become an accepted and recognized legal tender everywhere.
Seems to be similar of when government begin to "print value on a piece of paper" aka dollar bills. People took some time to have faith on these "worthless paper".

I guess the 50 cents is the best "reverse" example. Despite being "circulated legal tender", try to spend your 50 cents... after the "hein what's this?" from the young clerk who never saw one in his whole life, some will take it, but some will still refuses it.

It it not mandatory for any business or any person to accept any form of payment. Many businesses are not accepting 100$ bills, and they have to right to do so. If your grocery decides to not accept 20$ bills, they also have the right to do so, they'll just lose some clients.


The "debt payment" is what I'm not sure yet... this subject has been discussed a lot of times now and this is the only thing I have no official answer. It seems that for a debt payment, any legal tender MUST be accepted. So if I go to my bank with a lot of 20for20, not to exchange them for cash but to pay my mortgage... ?
