Looks like Ian Bennett will soon be retiring from the Mint. Any willing job seekers can apply if they meet the Mint's requirements. The income is pretty decent.
New CEO could mean a shake-up with the NCLT coins and the amount of variety being produced.

The
Royal Canadian Mint (the Mint) was originally established in 1908 as a branch of
The Royal Mint of London, England. On December 1, 1931, an Act of Parliament established the
Royal Canadian Mint as a branch of the Department of Finance. On April 1, 1969, with the passage of the
Royal Canadian Mint Act, the Mint became a Crown corporation and now reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance.
Today, the Mint is a commercial enterprise whose business ventures extend throughout the world. The Mint is classified as a Schedule III-II Corporation under the Financial Administration Act, the category reserved for organizations which conduct commercial operations and are self-sufficient. The Mint owns two facilities. The Ottawa facility houses the corporate head office, the gold and silver refineries and production facilities for non-circulation coins and medals. The Winnipeg Plant, which includes a plating facility, produces all of Canada's circulation coins as well as circulation coins for numerous foreign countries. The Mint is an ISO 9001-2008 certified corporation. The Mint operates along four business lines:
- Canadian Circulation: The design, manufacture and distribution of circulation coins to
meet the needs of the Canadian marketplace.
- Numismatics and Collectibles: The design, manufacture and distribution of Canadian
non-circulation coin products for sale to collectors and gift-givers.
- Foreign: The manufacture of circulation and numismatic coins and blanks for foreign countries.
- Bullion, Refinery and ETR (Exchange Traded Receipts): The production of bullion coins,
wafers and bars for the investment community, refining and storage services of precious metals
for Canadian and international customers, and access for retail and institutional investors to
precious metals stored at the Mint through gold and silver Exchange Traded Receipts (ETR)
products listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).
