Beautiful. Good luck finding those in change. I'm guessing the mint isn't doing coin exchanges for this one?

I was lucky last week as you can see. Please don't ask to by rolls, thanks.   |

That's quite the hoard. What are your plans for them?

I'm checking them for ms 66 or 67 (for now maybe a 65 non color, ms 64 or lower for the colored version).
For now I'm keeping onopen the rolls with a color at one end and a non colored at the other end. They are rare.
For now the average non colored per roll is 5 coin.
I have still 47 roll to do.
I might sell some in my region as the chipping per roll is creasy.
to be continued

Wow...I wish I could have bank contacts like that to get them. Out west here, no bank (to my knowledge) has received any boxes of commemorative coins since the 2017 issues and even then some got rolls mixed in with regular recycled boxes. No banks will even order coins for me as they say they recycle coinage between other branches and cash depot center etc. Any suggestions on how to actually get some without buying the RCM's special wrapped ones for 2x FV after tax and shipping? |

Find a bank willing to order and order 4 box or higher of what denomination you want 1 or 2 days ater the official release date(check the RCM site in the news) of the coin in circulation(but it not always work). You need to be lucky. I don't have any contact. |

Pre-COVID working in the office in downtown Toronto, it was easy to go an hit up 2-3 banks each day to see if they had rolls.
It's harder now. You generally can't call banks up because either it just goes to voicemail or a general number not specific for your local branch. That means going into the branch. Given COVID, branch hours have been reduced and there seems to be regular line-ups out the door. Maybe I'll try this for the commemorative loonies coming out, but need to have plenty of free time and as Castor sous said, be lucky.

My Bank (RBC) says that they cannot order these coins specifically. If they order rolls of $2 coins, some of them might be the commemoratives. I visited 5 banks (in Vancouver and Richmond, BC) and had good luck at 2. Best wishes in the hunt!

Bill Reid coin = great.
Commemoration of the end of ww2 = great.
Some coin celebrating a useless bureaucracy such as the UN = garbage.

To get ready for The Coin Show, the new $2 Victory coins are up on TSC. They are asking $99.95/roll or 6 payments of $16.95 and $22.95 or 6 payments of $3.82 for the keepsake set.
