Lucky_13 Pillar of the Community United States 749 Posts	Posted 03/17/2008 7:58 pm Thanks but I'm not interested in varieties, just about the 2 Loonies I have. I looked over the link a little bit and didnt find much about the Loonies. Maybe I'm just not looking very well I guess the info I'm looking for is specific..When did they start minting the Loonies and total mintage of each year and the different mint marks. Do they still mint Loonies? Questions of that nature Report this Post to the Staff
andre1621 Pillar of the Community Canada 868 Posts	Posted 03/17/2008 8:10 pm Loonies started to be minted in 1987 this was to replace the dollar bill then later they replaced the $ 2.00 bill in 1996 witch came as be metal they changed the min mark in 2006 and for the total mintage you can go at the link below. http://www.colonialacres.com/rcmmintages.shtml http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-...sp-q=mintage Edited by andre1621 03/17/2008 8:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 10:44 pm Multi-sided coins collars (pieces used to hold the blanks in place) tend to wear more rapidly than round coin collars. Perhaps these defects are as a result of a loose collar and as such are more prominent on loonies? Marc Report this Post to the Staff
