CoinCanuck94 Pillar of the Community Canada 644 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 9:25 pm I found an uncirculated year 2000 Knowledge toonie in my change a while ago. One variety to look out for is the Type 1 variety of the 2012 toonie, it has no security features on it and is scarcer because the Mint suddenly stopped producing them. Report this Post to the Staff

I bought a CND lot a while ago and the guy had some of the $1 and $2 coins in flips. I couldn't figure out why, dates ranged from 81 to 2000 so I know the metal composition isn't valuable.

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 8:47 pm there are a lot of special proof/specimen made. each year there is a special set with a special toonie. there are silver loonies out there, silver/gold tooonies. these would all have to be cracked out of mint sets, but I have found silver quarters and dimes cracked out of modern mint sets, so I was curious if people found the loonies or toonies as well.

Shoeplier Valued Member Canada 254 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 1:50 pm I search toonies on occasion, but mostly because my toonie set is 100% circulation finds. I don't find proofs (which I probably wouldn't recognize anyways), N.I.I.s, or silver/gold toonies. I find a few nice ones that sometimes are upgrades, but not worth more than $2. For me, it's hardly worth it but I do it anyways. Report this Post to the Staff
nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 1:58 pm Once I found a toonie with a mint-set finish in circulation. It was impaired, of course, but I kept it anyway - it's a nice way to illustrate why they don't use the mint-set finish on circulating coins (because wear really shows up on it). I search through toonies when I can afford it, because the commemoratives are quite popular overseas so they are good for trading. And aren't those 2012 old-style toonies worth keeping? I still haven't found one. Report this Post to the Staff
