Thanks kurt, I'm think this was a 1967 Bicentennial issue. But for want reason? What was special in 1967? I was 12 or 13 then. Edited by Mila_cent

Mila_cent, I really should know my Canadian history better than I do. I think 1967 was the 100th anniversary of the Canada Confederation. I'm sure one of our Canadian members will help us out with that.
Anyway, you should see the other Canadian circulating coins for 1967. Each one is different and very attractive. I hope you get to see the other 1967 coins. I would bet you'll want them as soon as you see them!
I wish I could say I was 12 or 13 back in 1967. However I was in my third year of teaching, and that was the year we moved to Delta, Colorado, where we still live.

Mila_cent, Thanks for the links. I have several of each coin, if I could just remember where I stored them. I also have the dollar bill.
Of the coins, I think I like the wolf best. And, I have always liked the large Canadian dollar.

I bought some rolls of halves today while at the bank. One roll had 7 1964 halves and then there were 13 40% halves in the roll also. I was pretty excited when I was looking through that roll. It is unusual for me to find a whole roll of keepers. Also a while back my wife was working part time at a store and she came home with a whole roll of silver dimes. She said they had four more rolls but some of the others she was working with wanted some also.

In 2000, I found some real nice BU DDR cents. I went after more rolls to find more and did so. Found 4-5 different reverses. Some are real beauties. Gem P.L. ect. While explaining all of this to my 6 year old son I told him that sometimes you could find coins in circulation. I then reached into my pocket and pulled out a gem 2000D cent that had a wildly misplaced mintmark. The mintmark is above the rim to the right of Lincolns bust. The staight line of D is paralell to rim. It is rotated 90 degrees. Granted it is a thin metal lined D, and it is a bit hard to see with the naked eye, but he could see it. (this is a VVEDS coin). I about flipped. So did he. He asked me if I knew that I had it in my pocket. In fact, and as I then explained to him, I did not. Talk about dumb luck. Keep them eyes open. Ya just never know. Is that fun or what? I think he is hooked! Gusp |

Took some coins around to a friends house to go through and this one turned up.
Image Insert:
Not released for circultation and was for ten years of having the one dollar coin in Australia.
