It looks like they got the colourized silver coin right. http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/lucky...-prod1350002 Wouldn't they use the same matrix? Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 07/29/2012 10:44 am This has happened on previous loonies, as well. Seems they don't learn too much. Does that mean that they do everything (designing) by hand and memory instead of looking at a copyrighted logo? My professor says that they use AutoCAD at the RCM, so it's probably programmed in there and they haven't changed it. Report this Post to the Staff
