Keirris New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 09/30/2015 12:01 am I know it's my second post and purely on speculation but after the disappointment of the quarter I'm a little desperate for an error coin. This one is subtle but I've seen similar ones on forums A 2015 toonie with extra metal around the ridges. Error? I'll just label this over all and add to it over time. Report this Post to the Staff

AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 09:54 am the term waffling has been tossed about on these coins because of the way it looks where the edge has been struck... you will note that in all places where it "looks" like extra metal it's actually where a letter is... no coincidence..

That term sounds apt, but is already in use for coins that are intentionally destroyed by a mint using a waffling machine. Waffled coins look very distinctive and have a bit of a collector following of their own. Coins are waffled by mints so that metal recyclers are not tempted to redeem scrapped coins at a bank.
