This ticks me off. I'm all signed up to receive emails from the RCM, but yet I never get notice of coin exchanges happening right near where I live. My son loves attending these to add to his collection. I see on Twitter this morning that there over the last 2 days there were coin exchanges I could have gone to had I known about them.

I don't think they send out emails regarding coin exchanges anymore. They do it through facebook and twitter only. Which is really a disadvantage to older collector who don't use facebook or twitter.

So what were the coin exchanges for? The D-Day coin?

If you missed them there are D-Day coin exchanges coming up in November.

Nov.1-3, Ottawa Mint
Nov.1-2 Winnipeg Mint
Nov.5, Canada Post Georgia St. Location.

Hi MoneyPenney. Last year I received an email around this time of year for a coin exchange for the $2 Armistice coin and my son and I both went. He loved it. And for me, it was a very low cost way to get him into coin collecting. On the mint.ca web page for the coin exchanges, they still make it look like that if you enter your email, you'll be "in the know". Both my son and I have mint accounts, but didn't receive any information about the local coin exchanges this year. I do follow the mint on Facebook and Twitter, but they have my email to contact me directly. If they used to send out emails for the coin exchanges, then why stop? They want young collectors, get the word out. My 10 year old doesn't use Facebook or Twitter and I'm too busy through the week to look. If my son had received and email, like he did last year, I know I would have been there.
This exchange was for the $2 D-Day coin. The locations I missed were only 4-5km away. The upcoming coin exchanges are thousands of km away.
