SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 9:41 pm Did not take long for the hand-struck RCM Canada Day tokens to hit ebay... (FYI - the mint gives them out for free to everyone) http://www.ebay.ca/itm/RARE-Canada-...161751300994 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

mysterious_dr_x Valued Member Canada 284 Posts	Posted 07/02/2015 8:39 pm It's true they're free at the mint, but only in Ottawa, Winnipeg and Vancouver. If you are not close to one of those 3 cities, then you might need to buy it. Of course, if you don't live in one of those cities, you probably don't even collect those tokens...

I have a blank planchet from this series, but not a clip!! There were a few scattered tokens lying inside the machine when I was there, so I asked the lady what those were, and she said they were rejects - I asked if I could have them and she shrugged and said "sure". This one was very cool, and to think that it was riding around in that machine since Canada Day 2013...
