JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21618 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 7:36 pm Nice score. And double clipped too! Surprised that no one had pulled it from circulation sooner. I'm sure there are some Toonie collectors who would love to have that one. Can you show a picture of the reverse also? Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 7:51 pm Very cool error, but something doesn't add up here..there should be some air between the inner and outer core..really need to see a pic of the other side.. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21618 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 8:22 pm That was my first thought too silverwolf, but then I remembered I have a photo on file of a misaligned centre hole on a toonie, it even has a clip. Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 8:31 pm jimmy d, you must have a huge data base..i took it as an error with a question mark. but your photo helps settle my anxiety.. gotta wonder how it made it so long in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
