Poll Question
It's merely two weeks into 2014 and we already have a large selection of dollar coins being offered at the Mint. In addition to the commemorative standards like the uncirculated and specimen sets, we have at least four others: baby, birthday, wedding, and O Canada gift sets. There will soon be a new (although not new design) Lucky Loonie circulation coin.

I was wondering which, if any, of the Loonies being offered people were planning to buy and decided to set up a poll.

Results

I am a Loonie lover! I will be buying all. 24% 6 Votes
I will buy both circulation and commemorative coins, but will skip some. (Tell us which.) 4% 1 Votes
I will buy some of the cheaper commemorative coins. 8% 2 Votes
I will buy the Lucky Loonie, and possibly one or more commemorative coins. 16% 4 Votes
I will buy the Lucky Loonie, but the commemoratives are too rich for my blood. 16% 4 Votes
I usually/often buy Loonies, but will skip this time. 4% 1 Votes
I never buy Loonies and see no reason to change this time around. 16% 4 Votes
Other--none of the above apply. (Please explain in the comments what you will do.) 12% 3 Votes

I love dollar coins and find the designs of these loonies very appealing but will wait till I find a good offer of them broken from the sets and perhaps certified.
Feel free to call me Will.

Ordered "Maple Leaf" Loonie set (Oh Canada, I think)
Just because I like the coin, so I will take out it and keep.

If (I do not believe in this) the Lucky Loonie will be issued in the "Escher-like" design, as was shown in the CP site - will buy it.

Assuming it's still available when I try, I intend to buy a circulation pack of Lucky Loonies. The only commemorative one I want is the Ferruginous Hawk from the specimen set and I plan to buy that after someone has broken up a set.

I chose to maybe skip a few. I don't know what's up next and I miss the 25 cent as the main premium. Still, I might buy them all once they get released.

I love the lucky loonies but will be passing on this one. It's the exact same design minus the year change!
