I work at Walmart and I've found 4 within the past month or so. No luck with 2012 Loonies though :( |

Have the official mintages of these been released yet? Not yet. We most likely have to wait for the RCM's annual report. |

will the report show how many were recovered for metal content? or just the mintage #s?

the mintage figure for the old style toonies will be missleading, there is many produced but never shipped because the RCM decided to produce the new security toonies. only a small amount of old designs were shipped mainly in western canada. |

I concur. Mintages will be misleading. I would bet a good supply of older 2012 loons and twoonies never even made it to a major distributing hub - remember the Brinks tractor trailer crash a little more than a year ago?

Looking at pictures of the spilled coins on google images, although not clear, the spilled coins appear to be the old style ones. And $3,000,000 spilled would be ~1,000,000 each of the loonie and toonie.

I still haven't found the loonie yet. Toonie I have two, though.

Like everyone else I have yet to find the loonie. I work in a convenience store and I've found about a half dozen of the toonies - but no loonies.

In over 6 months of looking (in the cash drawer and in change, not roll hunting) this is the first one I have ever found. I haven't found the old style loonie yet. Have the official mintages of these been released yet?
