You're welcome Biedercoins.

I was a young boy when this series came out and I fell in love with them, they're what got me hooked on coin collecting. My favourite is the Nickel of course

I love the series as well , at Easter I give the Nickles away to young children and tell them that they are Easter Bunny Money. Great fun

This penny served as the genisis of my coin collection;
As a very young boy (pre-kindergarten) I have a piggy bank full of pennies;
I had one 1967 penny - I called it "the bird penny";
Every now and then I would dump out my piggy bank, just to look at it.

I think it's pretty cool that you're using these to help spawn some of the next generation of collectors.

Side note;
To this date, I don't think I have a single circulation example as nice as any of the ones pictured!

A dozen clips in a bag of 6000 - at that rate, the mint shipped 690,000 clipped coins that year. :)

I bought a 1967 Centennial set years ago and it is one of the main things that sparked my interest in Canadian coins.
A really nice set of designs and you don't have to break the bank to buy them

Well, clips happen during a hiccup of the blank punching process, so one single hiccup will result in at least six clips at once. I suspect this happens in clusters, and highly doubt that more than 10,000 clips exist from this year.
