@commems I didn't say we don't have any, I'm saying we don't have much. The country is barely 150 years old, and was only discovered in the late 1500's by Cartier and the early 1600's by Champalin. It wasn't until the 1700's that there was a growing amount of settlements in the continent. That's not a lot of history compared to the rest of the world, which has a lot more heritage to commemorate on their coins compared to ours. We also don't have much culture. In fact, I would argue we don't have much culture at all, because our culture is essentially all cultures based on our immigration policies and multi-culturalism as part of our Charter. There aren't much culture that is specific to Canada, everything is derived from other cultures. In terms of coin themes that are truly Canadian in recent times, such as Group of 7, Great Lakes, Sir John A Macdonald, how many of these coins were truly popular? Most of the RCM hits are nature coins, which have a broader appeal than culture and history. |

@emveecoins:
you totally forgot the heritage of pre-Canada.
What about the First Nations?
And about the culture / art coins - this is exactly the same like in every country and not coins related.
What the people will prefer to do with $80: to buy one of the Go7 coins - cause it great piece of art, or to spend on the dinner at Keg for example?

And that is exactly why the Moon Mask set did not sell out. $360 is a lot of money to some people and putting food on the table is more important than a set of coins. |

Emveecoins - I hear your point ... However, there have been a lot of commemorative coins from the RCM...acknowledging a slew of historical events for Canada...annually in the far past, biannually or monthly in the more recent years...just go back and look...a lot...!!

Looney Tunes will be a very expensive collection to complete.
There is a 1 kilogram silver coin showing many characters with Bugs (with pink ears) being prominent.
Mintage: 750
Price: $2,350.95

I think they should make American/world culture coins, Canada has what, 40 million people, the United States has $400 million. Better market base. Or maybe go with 75% American/world coins and 25% Canadian.  |

Who really cares what they sell? Buy only what you like. I'd bet some coins sold for other countries are made by RCM anyhow |

RFD has a picture of the $20 for $20 Bugs Bunny Coin. Looks nice.

The latest news:
the weekend coming as a calm before golden rush.
It actually started, but still "behind the curtains".
On the other site people seems to be trying to get / secure as many gold coins as possible. The way to do it - to be entered to the special Waiting List #14, that looks like a master of waiting lists, if you made to there - you're golden prince, otherwise: no magnificent LT gold coin in the collection, no breathtaking profits from the re-sell to collectors and fans, that have no way to get it.
