Flindy New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 08/21/2015 12:37 am Hi there! New member of the coin community here. I've referred here a few times prior and had an inquiry finally. I wanted to know about a coin I found in my change today. It's beat up 1997 Loonie but still retained some plating or lustre on it. I referred to the Canadian Mint website and it said there were none intended for circulation. Any recommendations? Should I just keep it with my other dollars / loonies? Photos can be provided. Thank you very much for your time! Report this Post to the Staff

You can keep it as a curio or, seeing that you are from Moncton, go down to the Coin Cabinet and put it towards something you have your eyes on. Report this Post to the Staff
