Royal Canadian Mint Website.....

Not a tough call at all. I will take the stick in the eye please. This is one example where it is better to go to the middle man to look for RCM product. Going to an on line dealer like Gatewest or ColonialAcres make for a far less frustrating expereience than that horrid RCM website.

I've always had much better success just calling the 1-800 number. Nine out out of 10 times you get to speak to someone who really knows their stuff and you're done in less than 10 minutes.

From the 2005 Annual Report:

"In 2005, the Mint launched a revitalized web presence. The new e-commerce site is fully flash-animated and features the latest platforms. It provides a user-friendly shopping experience for online customers. In fact, mint.ca won the Best Transactional Website Award in the 2005 Boomerang Contest for interactive communications in Quebec. Supported by engaging e-marketing campaigns and featuring micro sites for individual commemorative circulation coin launches, the site has inspired an unprecedented number of visits and boosted sales substantially..."

Clearly, things have changed since then. The major issue I have is with speed and the fact that everything is packed into this small 640x400 window as if we all still run on a commodore-64.

But I know for a fact they will be making changes. Soon.

Marc, I get around that little "window" by using the "magnifier" on XP. It has several Powers, so you can distort it, untili is un-recognizable. I use level 2 mostly, and level 3 sparingly. Maybe it will help.
