I wonder when they will release a carousel coin that plays "Oh Canada". Or perhaps a cannabis coin that blows smoke!

Thank you for sharing, SilverDon
The Tokens look very cool, interesting, refreshing.
They all look as size of Quarter, is it correct?

If you order through Gatewest Coins the bonus VIP points cover the GST. I just ordered the Armistice Roll, the Armistice Keepsake and the test token pack.

@SilverDon: Thanks for sharing the images!
Are the lines under the neck of the caribou lines of micro-printed text?

I had to get out the macro lens to verify, you have to get up early to beat Commems. It is micro lettering CANADA on the neck of the Caribou.    |

Cool! But I wonder why they are spending all this time and money on coinage security features when GenX and younger don't even bother with cash, let alone low denomination coins?

Speaking as a member of GenX, I always carry cash - bills and coins. Sure, there is a debit card and CCs in the wallet if needed, but cash is my most often used method for making purchases under $100.

Very interesting. I'm a young baby boomer and I'm the complete opposite - I never pay with cash. I do carry a few dollars for donations at Safeway.

Me same as Commems.....
The main reason - payng with cash I feel the 'spending pain' which holds me from unneccesary purchases. Secondary - paying with cash, I always hope to find something in the change.
Paying with the cards - well it possible. Usually with debit and rarely with credit (yeah, that's why I understand nothing in the cashbacks).
Tap - not for me, I always prefer the entering the PIN Code.
Paying via phone's NFC - too weird for me and I do not have any apps, except the navigaton.
I am the Taurus - grounded, conservative and like the money in their physical substance.

I'm also a GenXer. Other than keeping an emergency 20 in my pocket, and paying to have odd jobs done on the house, I never ever use cash for anything.
When lining up for coffee, I mostly see millennials either tap their card or pay with their phone.

It might be b/c, like here in the States, people who normally ask this question are from more urban areas. They forget the large volume of money paid and accepted every year by private individuals like garage sales, flea markets, farmers' markets, private auctions, specific hobby shows (coin shows are likely large enough dealers can take plastic), neighborhood boys who mow lawns, etc. There is a huge culture outside of city limits that is oft forgotten about by those who don't live it.

Born in '63 I don't know whether I am a tail end boomer or an early GenXer... Every treatise I read classes me in a different bucket.
That said, I rarely purchase with cash. I always have a $20-40 in my pocket but between phone, debit and credit cards, there is almost never a need to use cash.
I will take cash to a coin show, a farmer's market or a craft market... as we are beginning to see pop up given the season.
The only person/people I know that work exclusively in cash are kids. My 13 yo daughter doesn't carry a debit or credit card so her purchases are cash only. Most of her peers are in the same position.
