Saint Ninian Valued Member Canada 95 Posts	Posted 05/09/2012 01:12 am Hi, Falcon--I can't help you at all, but I do share your frustration re lack of distribution of 2012 coins.We live in a small town in BC's Interior, and apparently we have to wait until the coins find their own weary way from the Mint.All the banks get their coins from their own central distribution centres.It appears that these centres just wrap the coins from circulation. Nothing sparkly there! Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 05/12/2012 11:28 pm Good question falcon, almost every other new technology introduced in the Canadian minting process, was accompanied by a test token set of some kind. I am surprised that the RCM did not take advantage of that for the new $1 and $2 coins. I imagine they must have issued test tokens to vending machine companies and the like, but maybe it was under higher security, "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.
