SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 04/11/2012 08:43 am ICCS no longer comments on whether a 1996 Twoonie is a German Planchet or a Canadian Planchet. I spoke with Brian late last year and said it is too difficult to do it consistently. A Canadian Planchet with strong die polishing marks can easily fool a lot of people. CCCS still will do it though. "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.
