Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 10/13/2013 8:58 pm 20 for 20 in UK is absolutely the same as our series. And it not suppose to be different, since it "collector's" coin. "Real 20for20" - this is when you bring $20 bill and get 20 Loonie (or Pound) coins. But as RCM, the RM uses the same gimmick - "Exchange 20 for 20". Together with this, we had (I just tired from it, 10 for me is enough) interesting series. Report this Post to the Staff
coinhooked Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 10/13/2013 9:05 pm I agree it was a great series but don't know if I want to get started with a Royal Mint series. Too much being offered & limited buck with me. I'm trying to be more selective. Report this Post to the Staff
arianzo Pillar of the Community Canada 2124 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 3:45 pm Do you know guys if the $20x$20 holders were at the RCM web page? I don't remember having seen them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/200974195774 I don't found them .... what was it's issue price? Mintage? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
coinhooked Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 4:03 pm There was a gold coin case available at imaginaire that held 10 $20 for $20 coins. I ordered 2 & then they were sold out. I put myself on list to be notified when back in stock. Nice case! It was discussed on another thread. It was for Canadian gold coins but works perfect for the $20 for $20 series.

coinhooked Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 4:14 pm Sorry Arianzo, I wrote before checking your ebay link. This is just for the 2013 coins & the gold coin case was nicer. Report this Post to the Staff

It was for Canadian gold coins but works perfect for the $20 for $20 series. Will just clarify. If not mistake, the case is for 1976 gold coins. It stores 10 coins 27mm in capsule, which make it perfect fit for 20for20 series. Disadvantage - it too long. 10 small coins could be stored in smaller box. I ordered one and put all the 20for20 in it (waiting for Santa). Btw, the fact that there is no special case, and this one contains 10 coins, caused me to think to collect the series after "Santa" @arianzo: Mint didn't offer them for purchase via website. If I remember correctly - they distributed the holders on some events. IMO, not very smart - do not offer even simple case for purchase for this series. Report this Post to the Staff
coinhooked Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 4:29 pm I actually don't mind the bulk of the case & a nice way to display the 10 coins. It would have been nice it RCM made a case especially for this series (as well as the bird coins) but this is the best display for this series that I have found. Report this Post to the Staff

Some guys have more than 40 available on ebay ! Maybe they have family members that work at RCM... Report this Post to the Staff
barriecarson Valued Member Canada 370 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 6:57 pm You can buy the holder cards at the mint boutique for $2. I picked up two a couple of weeks ago Report this Post to the Staff
coinhooked Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 6:58 pm I think I owe a thanks to Silveroid for informing me of the above shown case on another thread (if someone else, I apologize). Being such an old case (1976) will imaginaire come up with some more? I am new to this retailer. Report this Post to the Staff
jbsquash Valued Member Canada 99 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 8:45 pm So is it confirmed this is the last coin in the series? Report this Post to the Staff
coinhooked Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 9:33 pm All speculation (I believe) but with 2 $100 for $100 selling out quite quick it could spell the end. Who knows? If anyone does find out, please let us know. Report this Post to the Staff
arianzo Pillar of the Community Canada 2124 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 9:42 pm So, you can buy those holders nowadays directly at the Mint but not online. The trip will cost to me at least as 100 holders ... Report this Post to the Staff
