Canada Day

I have to agree with you Mr.Canada trying to keep an up to date 25cent collection can be overwhelming. I gave up trying to keep up a couple of years ago.

could be Yotie. I'm not that familiar with the State Quarter program but trying to keep up a quarter collection in Canada has gotten crazy over the past 2-3 years. The mint produces coin sets for various occasions (birthday sets,baby sets,wedding, congratulation, oh Canada) and each set has a quarter unique to that set and year. So you have to buy the whole set each year just for the quarter at $20.00 a pop. They also have sets for Christmas and the 6 Canadian hockey teams, hockey sets are 25.00 each. There are a dozen or so Olympic quarters circulated AND colorized. When you throw in the coins that were put into circulation ( 2 poppy coins, breast cancer, veterans, and a few others )as well as the larger size mentioned above... like I said it gets a bit overwhelming.

..... sorry for ranting but this is a pet peeve of mine...

I didn't bother with the colourised Olympic coins there encased in plastic that I found out can't be taken out. The gift sets I let go as well I will look for them on e-bay down the road.It is just too much stuff.
