Should be out soon.
I'm waiting to find out the mintages for the pennies, old style loonies, and the old style toonies.
Feel free to post what you are willing to find out about.

The older, base metal loon and two dollars will be a bit a odd one - lots were minted, but an entire shipment destined to one of Canada's major distributing hubs was destroyed in that big accident near Kirkland Lake last spring. I imagine those coins were mostly recovered, and shipped back to the RCM... I have seen none in change this past year... and only a few older base metal twoonies...

I still have a roll of each for old style loonie and toonie that I picked up for face value.
But I really think people will be disappointed when the "rare" 2012 pennies are in the hundreds of millions...

@tristen1230 The only way to have done that is to buy from a bank or the Mint before April 2012, not many people did. Currently $190+ for loonie roll and $240+ for toonie roll on ebay. I guess when the report comes out we'll find out if that's realistic. ;) |

But, that is my point, the mintages will show much higher numbers than what actually exists as a surviving population...

I dont think anyone will be disappointed in the penny mintage. Everyone knows it is expected to top 300,000,000.

All I have is an uncirculated set.

I found both magnetic and non magnetic in change (when we were still getting pennies in change). Pennies that is.

I found lots of 2012 pennies, of course they're not rare, I don't think anyone ever said they were. But the loons and toons are a different story.

Yes, I did find 15/2500 2012 pennies when I was roll hunting, but definately not in change.

The RCM is the factory that makes our coinage. If they do not know what they are producing---we need another factory. |

As far as the RCM is concerned, those specific pieces from 2006 would be production errors.... how on earth could they document that? We are lucky enough that they differentiate the zinc versus steel plated planchets - because ultimately those reports are for the financial records....
