sixofclubs Valued Member Canada 50 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 09:41 am Am I missing something? This is my first coin of the series. I thought it looked the nicest and decided to give it a try. Got it last week, left it in a sunlit room for a few days in case the luminescence needed to 'charge', and nothing. It doesn't glow in the dark, not even a little. I assume it's just defective, and I plan on calling the Mint tomorrow to try to get a replacement, but I thought I'd mention it here first. Anyone else have the same problem?

CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 07/17/2013 12:11 am That's the issue. There is no fascination over this series. The first coin got some notice because it was unique and it made the news - Colbert included. The second coin and the third coin are noise. Any 8 year old looked at the first coin and said 'cool' and moved on. True coin collectors see it at a novelty. So where does that leave the series? Report this Post to the Staff
sixofclubs Valued Member Canada 50 Posts	Posted 07/18/2013 07:01 am Thanks for all your input. I tried putting it up to a lightbulb for 30 seconds and it does in fact glow, but not nearly as much as I expected based on pictures I've seen online, and it doesn't last long. I'm a bit disappointed it doesn't glow just from being in a bright room all day. Oh well. I assume they're all like that, so I guess I'll hold on to it. It's inexpensive, at least.
