RCM New Release: 2017 Canada 150 Coin Collection

This is quite a profound declaration, not that it necessarily means anything other than the impending deluge of more maple leafs, polar bears, northern lights, and hockey.

But that a collection of coins that "represents our Canadian identity, our collective pride, and the significant moments we'll never forget" is referred to as "very special" by RCM is a candid self disclosure that aptly describes how great their spastic type focus has been diverted to commercialized and trademarked themes in recent times.

It's also a statement that aptly describes why the huge gap exists between circulation and NCLT collections.

Is RCM looking to redirect their primary focus to Canadiana, the 150th being an experimental year of sorts? If so, could be interesting.....
