Would these even be considered "coinage" since they don't have a face value?
Seems like pretty nutso overpriced bullion with little collectible value. These are 2.5g coins that are smaller than a penny.

Any Canadian Landmarks?  I imagine these little art bars to be very pretty. I would consider the set at $9.99 for each piece... tops! Don't like the idea of a higher price as you continue the collection!  |

I hope the RCM is throwing in a free magnifying glass. You will need one for sure.  |

Nothing Canadian about them.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

hahahah. omg only 2.5 grams of silver. man that's awfully small.
Who in their right mind wants such a small item. I mean is so difficult to see. This is hilarious. I actually like these designs. If they were like 1/4 ounce. A size that I can actually see the bar. I would be a buyer even at $30 dollars a piece

Hustlin, again I agree with you. Overpriced , too small to enjoy. I like the theme, but I'd need a high power magnifying glass with my I sight. It's why I love the 38-40mm diameter or larger. However, a kilo is too large for me.

These just the "Silver Flakes".... I understand, that the Manufacturing Mint decided to go "miniature" with affordable price. By this creating something different. And, IMO, they mistaken. As people said - too small to enjoy. The USA "State" or " ATB" small quarters are the minimal size to enjoy the landscape view. Smaller will be less eye appealing and less detailed. |

Silver is attractively priced at US$16 toz. So, <CAD$20 for a SML. To claim that 1/12 the silver is attractive for 30% more, is laughable. Insulting, actually. The RCM has clearly decided its customers are all gullible fools. Put out tons of crap for prices that reflect raw materials when they 2x or more the price. Now they are The Shopping Channel. Ladies and gentleman, we have an amazing deal today on these swan candle holders. |

Is it just me or does the RCM think it's the Franklin mint now? |

At least the shopping channel has sales from time to time. I saved $40 on 2 moose coins. I had 2 $40 coupons from Sept purchases.
