Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 9:32 pm I agree, the Wait for me Daddy toonies are great. Bimetallic coins work well with a central design, preferably having some sort of symmetry (especially on the new design toonies, considering the placement of security features). The HMS Shannon one was also well done. I'll be waiting ti see how they design this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Harmonica Pillar of the Community Canada 1118 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 10:07 pm The Quebec City twoonie was a dud though. And yes, thanks skip, I will be watching the Mint's website. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 12/19/2014 10:19 pm I haven't found a Quebec toonie yet, but IMO they left too much blank space on their design. It looks rather empty. Report this Post to the Staff

Why not us?! With the Shannon and Wait for Me Daddy, the RCM has finally used the canvas well. It's a challenge given the naturally tendency to use the border to separate design.
