Hello!
I haven't been around much lately - I find my interests and web page presence ebs and flows so to speak.

I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me insight into mintages of later Canadian (circulation) coins.

This was spurred on because earlier today I reviewed an email I received from 'Coins and Canada';
In the April email, there was a link for what I thought was updated mintages of coins...

Now, I need to take pause for a moment to give any one reading this a little context;
I typically only buy "new" charlton guides every ten years or so - sometimes less, but often closer to ten years apart - mostly because the year to year differences are minute enough that my $30 are better off spent else where - so what I do is add writing on the last page of a given denomination, and write in variants/mintages ect.

Now, the link provided by the email seemed to me to be a hot mess in several regaurds - and then there were the glaring blanks in mintage numbers.

This essentially brought me back here today, and I ended up (after browsing a little) to the mintage listed here.

I would think that a non-circulation coin would not be listed in the mintage (because such listings would also suggest that there should be lines for proof ect coins);

Unless I am mistaken, for 2017 the only circulation coins were the "150th" issues, so a listing of the 2017 polar bear toonie, is slightly confusing - especially since the total mintage seems to be listed behind the polar bear toonie and there is no break down by coin type, or coloured vs uncoloured.

Now, I understand that the RCM does annual reports in which it lists mintage of the year prior - and on occasion there are press releases of the intended mintage of special issue coins.
Am I mistaken on this?

I would really like to know the proper numbers of later coins, and a break down for special, and "painted" vs unpainted coins.

Does such information exist on line?

I was quite intrigued to learn of the 2019 toonie serration variant - something I wasn't aware of prior to today.

The Saskatoon Coin Club has a nice chart with mintage figures. http://www.saskatooncoinclub.ca/art...intages.html

thank you VERY much for that link!!
I find it curious that the reported mintage of the unpainted 2021 dime is higher than the painted - that's the one I could not find in circulation (and I thought the RCM had flipped to making more painted coins because those tended to be saved).

I would suggest taking these numbers with a grain of salt. For example, the 2017 mintages are not in the least bit accurate since no "traditional" design coins were issued for circulation.

something is definitely wrong with the 2017 mintage numbers.

Considering that was now six calendar years ago, you would think it would all be sorted out!?

EDIT:
I just noticed that the Saskatoon club link doesn't differentiate the 2015 (5 types) or 2017 (4 types) quarters.

I think the issue is the RCM changed how they report mintages. They report how many of each denomination were minted in a given year, however that can include coins that have next year's date.

No ''traditional'' design coins dated 2017 were issued for circulation. However, the RCM did mint 5c, 10c, 25c, $1 and $2 coins with the traditional design in 2017. These coins were just dated 2015/2016/2018 -- take your guess.
No-one knows for sure as the RCM does not report the date on the circulation coins minted during a year. That practice sadly stopped with the annual report of 2014 (the last time the RCM did it).
The Saskatoon Coin Club uses the numbers from the RCM's annual reports.

Edit: Cdncoins was faster with an explanation

I have suspected this for some time, but do not believe I had read this clearly spelt out.

Well this sucks.

You would think that they would know how much of a given "type" (denomination and year stamped) that they mint - I mean they have to roll them... it's not like decades in the past where they were bagged up.

Many of the coins in the OP's question may be due to the 2 separate volumes that Charlton puts out. One for circulating coins (Vol 1) from 1858 on and RCM special mintages only found in Vol 2, MOSTLY non-circulating. It's hard to keep up with all the crap that the mint puts out now.

/\ I agree it is can be to keep up - especially the way the RCM puts out mintage...

I used to get the Haxby books, but found that I prefer the Charlton guides.

I do have both volumes - actually I have all three types;
I have the colonial tokens 5th edition (2003?)
Volume 1 70th edition (2016)
Volume 2 5th edition (2015)

I do believe that the non-circulation issues have wholly separate mintage which is not included in the numbers that I am searching for.
