I was able to get 3 rolls the the Inuit toonie coloured or so I thought. Opened the first one with 2 heads showing and got 7 plain and 18 coloured   Second roll 10 plain and 15 coloured   Last roll I put into a tube to keep safe for now. In hand I like the plain one better, you judge. Plain   Coloured   edited to add, it was hard to find an MS65 in the 2 rolls Edited by mcshilling

Those are really fine, mcshilling - excellent score! So what are you going to do with all the extras....  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Awesome acquisition!
Are coins with King Charles out in the circulation now? Or are they coming out slowly like in the UK?

I did get a few nickel, dime and quarters with the King in Toronto as well.

Brilliant for you that you manage to find them as well!
Will we ever see 50 cent pieces return to the circulation as well?

What could possibly cause the return of 50-cent pieces to circulation? Like in the States, these heavy coins are only less and less likely to circulate as metal coins gradually and inevitably fade from use.

Nice score.  Errers and Varietys.

Good to see you made it to the big lights and stocked up on coins you can't get in your home town. Always take advantage of opportunities like that.

In Canada, with the loonie and toonie replacing the one and two dollar bills, "heavy coins" continue to flourish. Of course their main competition is plastic, which is gaining usage all the time.  |
