I ordered my annual 2016 Uncirculated Set but since I have it sent to Canada and won't see it until July, I can't check but I received an email yesterday from the mint saying that there might be an error in my set and that a 2015 one dollar coin was inserted instead of a 2016. It says I can return it for a refund (yeah, like I'm going to do that). Does anyone have one of these?

Sorry if this has been discussed before but a search didn't bring anything up.

Never mind. Just discovered that they are talking about this in another forum section.

Looks like the "hottest" item for now.

They ( RCM) planned to mint 2016 Loonie, but used the 2015 tools - and as a result, the Loonies became dated as 2015!
And probably without checking, have been inserted to the set.

So this seems not to be "packaging error", but probably minting.

Anyway, reminds the "Last Penny roll" auction, while the same seller listed the 2016 Error set.

Item ID = 141882941062 on ebay.
Already 50 bids and current price CAD 129.47 ...how high it will go.
I feel, people loading up with these sets, issue price less than CAD 30, but re-sell price is in the sky (probably will check 16 PO in radius of 16 km )

The link to the main thread:

I have to chuckle about RCM sending an email to everyone who ordered a 2016 Uncirculated Set, offering to exchange it if by error what they received happened to contain the 2015 loonie. If thousands of people weren't aware of the possible mismatch, they certainly are now!

It is a packaging error, or as the Mint called it an 'assembly' error.

The ebay listing calling it a "Very rare - one of a kind set" is false as well.

People are strange. These sets are most likely not rare and certainly should not be fetching $130 or more. One could create this packaging error very easily.

Another example of presupposition being an expensive master. If the idjits didn't spend it on a packing error there are plenty more 'rarities' seeming to arrive on a nearly daily basis.

I received a 2016 uncirculated set with an extra dime in with the 5 cent coin. has anyone seen this , I have been looking for any reference online to errors with the 2016 set and all I can find is the 2015 dollar coin in the 2016 set.
