I'm only a few purchases away from platinum status but if I buy what I want now, I won't have anything to redeem the X for X coins on. Just remember, the MC program resets on July 1st. You only have until the end of June to add on to your current year's purchase total to reach the next level. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

The July releases likely won't be available for order until the last week before the deadline.
Would they still count even though not delivered or paid for after June 30?

So, this is interesting, I just logged onto the mint.ca and checked my 'tracking orders'. The first on the list was processed on July 29th though the image is not available, it indicates that $200 for $200 "is processing"  |

I just checked my "tracking orders" and nothing there. Funny I was just wondering if the $200 for $200,$100 for $100 & $50 for $50 are dead. I was thinking of emailing my rep and asking him as I don't think I ever did get official confirmation from the mint and I did subscribe to them for 2016.

@ Dcadon Noticing the price, it appears you got another RCM first....a $0for$0! |

I think I just got my answer ! Happy to see the $200 for $200 hasn't been discontinued. Now how about the $100 & $50's ?

Yay! I also like this 200 for 200 series and happy to know that the Mint decides to keep it going.  The order status shows 0$ because it is a subscription, a good sign, meaning there will be more than one coin. And according to my rep's email, this coming one is call "Vast Prairies", and it looks good. |

@wildflowerAB All subscription orders with the RCM, when originally placed, will show "0" dollars. Each item, when shipped, will appear with a new order number as "processing". This is good news. It means that there will be more than one issued of this $200.00 series. |

Question if their will be another $200 for $200 just answered. Just received advanced notice for the $200 Canada's Vast Prairies coin limit of 2 per account.

@ New1954 Thanks, that's interesting to know. RCM seems to somewhat be in a state of flux. Their challenge is to sustain or increase earnings coupled with rising silver prices, now at $27/oz, balancing the cost of XforX redemptions. From a financial perspective, 30,000 $200s at 63.07g are more profitable than 300,000 $20 at 7.96g (compare to 79.6g). Thetefore it wouldn't entirely surprise me if $200s were resurrected in lieu of the demise of $20s. As long as folks are buying the $200 for $200 for the right reasons, knowing RCM discloses time and time again on their website that businesses or financial institutions are not obliged to redeem them, then it seems here you have it back! |

Thank you for the URL, Wildflower!
Although, I'll not continue to buy them (hate the risk involved to spend CAD 200 and someday to stay with 2oz Silver), but this is very nice series.
Some of them better than other, bit high mintage, but in overall very balanced and good series.
Congrats for the collectors, continuing with 200for200

I redeemed my entire $20 for $20 collection at the bank yesterday. Well, I had my mom go in as the poor widow who found these in the house and had no idea what to do with them (most of which was true). They would not redeem them for me since I am a non-resident and have no Canadian bank accounts. I bought them over the years because I liked them but decided to sell when I realized I had a lot of money tied into these. I had never even thought about the Master's program until I discovered to my surprise that I hd qualified.
