This is neither Circulated or NCLT.

But I collect random knickknacks that are related to circulated coinage. Things that have designs of circulating coins but are of no monetary value.

So far I have these...can anybody add to this list so I know to look for them?

I need the Year of the Volunteer medal. I saw one on ebay a few months ago but skipped it.

Anyone know any stores who carries it? :D

**Big Nickel Sudburry (5c) - minted from nickel (there is aluminium version too)

**1908-1968 CANADA RCM COMMEMORATIVE DOLLARS token - 60 Years Numismatic Excellence - on which shown 6 commemorative circulation silver dollars.

This is known as 'Exonumia' and there are tons of different cool items to collect. Try going through some of the posts on this subforum:

http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...?FORUM_ID=11

I also have a collection of Canadian exonumia, which the theme is "Coins, on Coins"... Jerome Remick made some cool medals, Wildwood Trade dollars, RCM medals, etc... there are tons to discover!!

As per shown above, RCM in the past released significantly less items, but they were more unique and attractive, rather than just pumping out many coins with endless designs.

I just ran across one of the items Commems commented about, and it's on sale.
http://www.cdncoin.com/1997-Hockey-...40124001.htm

These too are nice.

Shipping cost is the killer for these.

wilsonwu89 : Nice collection. I've considered starting a collection like this too. It's interesting to see coin designs re-purposed into tokens, pins, etc.

Some others for you to find:

1953 Coronation Medal / 50¢ 2002 Obverse design
2005 RCM Visitors Token / 1¢ Maple Leaves design
2006 RCM Visitors Token / 1¢ Maple Leaves design
2007 RCM Visitors Token / 5¢ Beaver design
2008 City of Quebec Token / $1 (Silver) Portrait of Champlain
2012 RCM Visitors Token / $1 Loon design
