T1Steel Pillar of the Community Canada 623 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 1:10 pm Is it possible that RCM sometimes mints coins for other mints. Report this Post to the Staff
Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 1:39 pm Quote: Why such a fuss about coins from another country being sold here in Canada ? @Piscesdave: The fuse here in this topic about Looney Tunes - RCM minted coins, that have no relation to the New Zealand. Why did you mention NZ and not some other country ? Edited by Silveroid 04/16/2015 1:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Northerncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 2019 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 1:43 pm Quote: Early history of RCM foreign circulation[edit] In 1970, Master of the Mint, Gordon Ward Hunter relaunched the Foreign Circulation division. In January 1970, the RCM won a contract for Singapore to produce six million rimmed blanks in a copper nickel alloy.[2] This was their first export contract since a contract for the Dominican Republic 32 years earlier. The second contract came in April 1970 with the Central Bank of Brazil. The RCM produced 84 million blanks for the 50 centavo piece. In August 1971, the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen placed an order for 2 million five fil pieces. This was followed by an order from Iceland for 2.5 million one crown pieces. In October 1971, the Bank of Jamaica asked the RCM to produce a commemorative ten dollar coin in sterling silver, and a twenty dollar gold coin of proof quality. Also in 1971, the RCM made coins for the Bahamas, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, and the Isle of Man.[4] An order for 100 million general circulation five centime and ten centimo coins for Venezuela was received as well. By 1973, orders totaled sixty five million coins, and seventy million blanks. By 1974, the Ottawa facility produced a total of 1.2 billion coins (foreign and domestic), a facility record.[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...anadian_Mint Report this Post to the Staff

Lostwords Pillar of the Community Canada 1528 Posts	Posted 04/17/2015 08:02 am I think I am one of the few that is not being bother by the mint selling other mint products. There are collectors out there that like coins from other mints but doesn't know where or how to order them. Frankly, I think it's a smart move by RCM to do that. They have the store front and personnel and customers to resell these coins to. Report this Post to the Staff
piscesdave Valued Member Canada 62 Posts	Posted 04/17/2015 08:05 am Silveroid , I apologize for jumping the gun , I assumed that the Looney Tune coins were going to come from the New Zealand mint as the Disney coins are . I just feel that Canada and it's mint should focus on Canada and our culture , history and people when it comes to selling coinage . Report this Post to the Staff

emveecoins New Member Canada 27 Posts	Posted 04/17/2015 11:44 am The mint is about making money, there's only so little people interested in coins purely about history and culture. IT doesn't help that CAnada doesn't really have that much history or culture either. Report this Post to the Staff

Really? This is news to me! I was under the impression that it had a rich cultural heritage that extends back many centuries! I guess I learned something today.

Wow...this is variety, cause we lived in the wood cabins, fishing and haunting deer....Of cause all the winter was smoked meat only. So, it already was "commemorated" - by 2014 "Igloo" and 2013 "Summertime" Edited by Silveroid 04/17/2015 2:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
