I had contacted the dealer directly about the 59k number and his response was Quote:
RCM, only issued in Unc set. I contacted Colonial Acres directly and the response on Sept 12 was Quote:
Are you looking for the 2016 Regular Loon. Unfortunately they have not produced Regular Loon rolls this year, only Olympic, and Woman's Vote. It is possible (my speculation) that the 2016 Regular Loon that you've seen on the CA site http://www.colonialacres.com/produc...l-of-25-pcs) may have been a placeholder that someone setup early in the year and that they didn't have stock. I've sent an email to ask for clarification. Another speculation is that when they finished their run of PL sets the rest were dumped into circulation rolls and that's what we've seen. |

Just got off the phone speaking with a rep from the Winnipeg mint and they have confirmed that there will be a release of the 2016 loonies for circulation. Apparently they were in production about a month ago. No indication on mint quantities but likely low mintage for this year.

Looking at the Loonie mintage figures for the last 10 years I think the regular Loonie will have a mintage of 5.000.000 to 10.000.000. Low but definitely not that low. Edited by redlock

Just received my 2016 loon rolls from the dealer in question. They are indeed 2016 Loon Loonies. All is well. Now to wait on final mintage quantities for the year.

I was ordering supplies anyway and picked up the 2015 Poppy quarters too, got tired of waiting to find them in my change (of course now I'll probably get them in my change tomorrow lol) |

Went to the mint and just picked up two rolls.... the mint employees were selling rolls of the lucky loonie for $49 and the regular loonies for face plus their 5%
The mint employees were touting the 2016 as a "very very low mintage" year....

My friend goy me some 2012 plastic Penny rolls when he was on a trip to Winnipeg around the time they ended them, and they said the same
If I recall correctly, I could find the email, but they were telling people low mintage and rare
