You can order up to 3 of the special 5 packs directly from the mint. I believe one of the other threads gave instructions on how to get free shipping if you hunt around. Haven't seen them selling rolls yet though.

thanks friend! I would be interested in the free shipping info on the 5-packs if anyone has that - I couldn't find it. But my real interest is the rolls of Shannon (ship) toonies - I saw a couple on ebay but I prefer not to buy there. Any one with any other options? thanks! |

Not sure in the Edmonton area. I was always told to try the main branches in the cities for new coin.

I tried several major banks last week, they all offer this roll exchange with no premium. I believe most branches in main cities have this roll, but you have to act quickly, because it has already been released about one month. My problem is that they often asked "how much you need", while I only need 2 rolls.  good luck!  |

Is this roll the same as the pack of 5 toonies that Mint release month ago?

RBC, CIBC, BMO.
I think you had better go to the "big" branches, most of which are in downtown in each city.
Also, it is not the pack of 5 toonies as Mint, but a roll of 25 coins.

I would imagine that the biggest head banks get their large shipment straight from the mint but that they have to redistribute them to their branches via armored trucks. So I don't really think that they would be available to the public from these central branches. That's just a guess, though. Just keep trying the bigger branches that have a lot of traffic and commercial movement, such as around big shopping malls where they need lots of change. Avoid small banks with small amounts of teller booths and that only have a few ATMs.
These toonies are out there in circulation so you just have to track them down. Try any casinos/slots in your area.

I read that the maximum mintage for this $2 HMS Shannon coin is five million, but I can't find the number of 5-coin packs published anywhere. Does anyone know?

I'm not sure how many of the 5 packs they did. But just so you know there are 4 more twoonies in the series to be released and there is a new 5 pack of loonies out as well. I'm sure you can only get these through the mint.
