Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 10/09/2023 11:55 pm Sorting through coins I'd hoarded in 2013 and realising that Canadian circulation coins from the 2000s and 2010s (plated steel, so these should not be ARP-ed) are not something I tend to find in my change anymore. Typically the coins I get in change now are brand new last year or two's coins, no earlier. Thoughts? Did the Mint recover them too? Still dumping out that mountain of circulated 2002 coins. No idea why I hoarded them back then... why on earth would I need more than one each? Report this Post to the Staff

About 25 million vehicles in Canada. Over the last two decades that could account for a lot of coins. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 10/10/2023 12:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
