rage1398 Valued Member 136 Posts	Posted 11/04/2013 5:30 pm Hi, I got this Canadian dime and can't seem to find anything online about it. The date appears to be 1998 and the coin has no reeded edge. Is it an error? I would also like to know if it is worth anything. Edited by rage1398 11/04/2013 5:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 11/05/2013 12:19 am Believe it or not, there are people who collect these, for the novelty factor. The coins aren't worth any great deal, but some collectors like to get as many dates as they can. You never know -- flip it on ebay and you might make a buck or two. Call it a Dryer Coin (as Joseph and chequer have) and you should get a few hits. Report this Post to the Staff
