Quote: My other options... take a lot of time, cause me anxiety and don't usually work out too well. Stick with your guy at the coin club.

These options take a lot of time, cause me anxiety and don't usually work out too well. I "exchange" a couple of rolls each at the bank, (actually, my wife does it for me) once a week. The anticipation of finding a commemorative, I find, is enjoyable. The success is rare. Report this Post to the Staff

punman Pillar of the Community Canada 849 Posts	Posted 11/13/2024 01:31 am I usually pick up the $1 and $2 commemorative coins (both coloured, and non coloured) by roll hunting. I will periodically go into a bank and pick up 10 or 20 rolls. The only $1 coin commemorative I am missing is the Oscar Peterson non coloured from 2022. I have all the $2 up to and including 2023, but don't have any 2024s yet. If I feel I am really stumped I know I can pick something up at a coin show but the loonies and toonies I collect are "just for fun" not serious like my silver dollars, and some others.

unruhjonny Pillar of the Community Canada 514 Posts	Posted 11/19/2024 1:09 pm I'm in the "I'm done" crowd. I suspect I'm in the minority though... I was fine with one 'special' coin every other year, but the current "thing" seems to be three or four 'painted' coin types a year; I liked that the early colorized coins were select coloured, so they still had a design stamped on it - not just a blank space printed like this turd-of-a-coin. I have had no problem finding all the coins, except for the 2017 'painted' toonie. I am NOT intending to collect any 2024+ stuff; I think I may save the 2024 base coins (first full year of KCIII issues), but that's it. Report this Post to the Staff
cedargrove Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 03/22/2025 08:46 am I used to hit the banks regularly looking for new rolls of these coloured commemorative toonies. If I couldn't get them at a bank, then I'd buy a roll from the mint. With the frequency of issues, I no longer have the energy to keep searching. If I find them in circulation then great, otherwise I'm fine having holes in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
