Hi
Take a look at these two 2009 Loonies, the one on the left looks like a normal coloured Loonie, while the one on the right is more brassy coloured.


They both weight 6.96 and 6.97 respectively....

One was most likely plated by the Mint, the other by Jarden.

Wert. - Jarden Zinc Products.

I think there is a reference in one of the Mint Reports that Winnipeg would be used as an optional location for creating loonie blanks. Most loonie blanks in the 2000s I think were made by Jarden. Winnipeg blanks would be brass plated steel instead of bronze plated steel, since Winnipeg uses a more environmentally friendly process.

The "loon dance" loonie of 2008 I'd swear is made with a different plating. Many of them seem to have a different kind of toning. I've never heard of any being analysed though.
