I want to see a series of Bill Reid art designs, in copper, silver, and gold against a silver background.

That is the one that infuriates me. The Mint could wait 10 years and have a meaningful 100th anniversary instead.

In the meantime, if nothing else of importance happens then lets just do a bit less. Or take care of some old business. Like, rethink new designs for some circulating coins. Getting tired of the Copyrighted Bluenose?

Fewer releases AND less mintage? You realize the problem there, right?

Perhaps a few layoffs. I know, tough decisions.

... wait, NCLT are fun to collect, *not* investment pieces. They're a collectors market, so why would you *want* to decrease new coin releases? I understand less mintage, but really?

Well Rodime, part of me wants more like you say. I guess I prefer more historically relevant coins and more quality over quantity. 90th anniversary is a perfect example. Why not wait 10 years and make it the 100th anniversary coin instead? I don't know, I feel there are just too many and this may be because there was a time when you could * get all of them * without breaking the bank...

Any collectors memorabilia generation outfit (topps, RCM, anything collectible) is banking on the fact that people need "completeness" in their sets. So decreasing mintages is a good idea, but having a variety of pieces out there might further push NCLT from collectibles to giftware.

I was really surprised with the 90th anniversary release. Hopefully we get something for the diamond jubilee, though ...

Wow, almost 10 years already.

One key striking is already announced: http://www.gg.ca/pdf/DiamondJubilee_eng.pdf

That obverse is AMAZING. I sure hope all the coins of 2012 carry it, too.
