The Royal Canadian Mint issued an emergency communication on January 20, 2026, stating it is operating at only 8% production capacity and is expected to declare force majeure on February 3, 2026, specifically citing "unprecedented feedstock shortages and refining bottlenecks."

I just did a google search and nothing. No mention on their website. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Perhaps this is why the Mint has increased their prices to unrealistic (IMHO) levels for the February releases. 1 oz. Fine Silver Coins $260 2 oz. Fine Silver Coins $530 1 oz. Fine Silver Coin(colored) $280 With silver bullion coins going for a bit over $130 an oz., I find this markup way out of line, and will probably end (after about 65 years) my NCLT collecting. Maybe I'll now be concentrating on pure bullion and circulating coins for the foreseeable future. Report this Post to the Staff
