I was wondering how long it usually takes for a current release to show up at the Mint's boutiques. I notice none of the August releases have made it yet--all say "Awaiting stock at the store" in Ottawa, Winnipeg & Vancouver. Is this usual? I think some (perhaps all?) are already available at the post office outlets.

Some of the new releases appeared last week at the Vancouver Mint Boutique. Like the year of the horse (chess piece).

Quite often the Mint Boutique have the coins before the date of official release but could not sell them ahead of release date.

Ah, thanks MoneyPenny! So although it says "Awaiting stock..." on the website, it isn't always so? I guess I ought to call or just pop over and see!

Always usually a week later or when the items ship (on the website) they appear at the boutique

Thanks, CanadianCoins1999. I went in to the Winnipeg boutique yesterday and saw most of the new releases that the website said were still awaiting stock. (I bought the Barn Owl coin. ) The pleasant saleswoman at the counter said essentially the exact same thing you did. She also said they were hopeful the website will be more accurate in reflecting the boutique's contents in the near future. I *hope* she is correct in her hopes.
