"Wait For Me, Daddy," Two Dollar Coin From The RCM

I'm in Alberta, how could I get a roll at face value? I'm in a small town with 4 banks. One is the Royal bank.

I ordered 3 also I really like the design on the twoonie the best.

Is this card only available at exchange? I am in Waterloo On, and there probably wont be any here

I heard there were 2 hour queue in New Westminster on Oct 5th but I did not go.

I went to Oakridge Mall yesterday around 1:30pm and no queue at all.

Coin folder came free with each $2 exchanged. Max 5 folders + 5 x $2 coins per person.

Coin folders are only available during Coin Exchange, not available on RCM website nor RCM Boutique counter.

It is true that rim of new $2 coin looks like poor quality job.

Thanks justsilver for posting the pics, I do like this coin. Now I'll be impatient to get mine from the mint. I find these Commemerative circulation coins a good way for me and my son to make saving money fun. The interest rates are so dismal, that having an emergency saving funds in these Commemeratives makes it fun and easy. It's a fun way to teach youth about saving money, as it's a history lesson and something fun to look at and hold. Also with some luck it may turn into a collecting hobby. I see many positives to these Commemerative coinage. Prior to 1999, there were so few Commerative circulation coins. I can only recall some nickel dollars and 1973 quarter. I think this is a great move by the mint. Hopefully it will get more people into the hobby!

Sounds cool, thanks for idea.
Did the kids sign the card?
Isn't it kind of "money" gift (although it only $2) ?
