I love the edge lettering on the Twoonie! Good to see the change! (No pun intended!)

The RCM did say on their Facebook website that since these are not commemoratives like the Boreal Forest issues, that they weren't doing any 5 packs or other promotions. It could be that for 2012 they are strictly circulation issues. |

RIght after reading this thread I ordered off ebay the "old style" 2012 Loonie and Toonie to make sure I get them. Don't know what the mintages for the 2012 coins will be but since it's a year with two different style coins it might be smaller than previous years. |

Interested to see the changes and excited to get one in hand.
My question is, from a listing and cataloging standpoint, what are we calling these new coins?
2012 Maple Leaf Loonie?
2012 Maple Leaf Toonie?

No Logos, the date is where those would typically be.
I guesstimate the older version loonie and toonie were minted until beginning of April, anyone's guess on the mintage, probably low.

Hey, they are quite nice => the edge lettering is definitely a cool addition (I'm assuming that the edge-lettering merely says "CANADA" ... or is there also a mint-mark, or additional letters of some sort?)  |

It says "Canada 2 Dollar" and 2 small maple leaf images.
On some of the coins the rim on the obverse shows denting where the edging letters are stamped.

This should add a whole new dimension to grading and preserving, seeing that we now have edge lettering. How do I hold my coins now?!?! Hopefully it also adds a new awareness to preserving coins to collectors and hopefully we see some edge errors!
