, but I couldn't help it) which loses value very quickly. Can someone direct me to a link where I might find more info on the circulating coins?

Sean-
I do like that '67 Goose dollar, as well as the Australia commemorative.
$31 is good if the $1 is a perfect strike, no toning with a distinct cameo--most aren't true cameo. Otherwise, you can get the whole 1967 PL set for $10-15, even with current silver prices that's a good deal.
As for 1990, 1998W, and 2000W, I find the number of collector issues is confusing and I'm skeptical to attribute any premium here excepting some very low-mintage coins such as the silver '97 $1 Flying Loon or the 2002 "Queen Mum". I paid all of $5 for a proof '87 Loonie in the original RCM case (that's the first year). I believe the "W" on moderns stands for the Winnipeg mint.
Imo, be wary of Loonie "values," as many dealers like Colonial Acres sell at a healthy margin. The market is awash with "collector coins" of dubious value which I suspect someday will be flea market Overstock.
