It doesn't say what its worth so maybe it is just a coin with no value? ps- she gave me this instead of a toonie, I probably got ripped off but it is a cool coin none the less.

Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 04/16/2010 11:28 pm I don't know what it is but it has no denomination, something usually left to test tokens but there are none listed for that year. Can you give the members a size to work with? Measurement, or picture with a loonie beside it? Eveb the colour is not coming through well. Report this Post to the Staff

Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 04/17/2010 1:42 pm @gord Where is this "test toonie" of which you speak? There's a 2004 bi metallic test token, a 2006 bi metallic test token and both look substantially different from this item which is clearly not bi metallic and is dated 2005. It's an RCM medallion of some kind and someone mentioned visitors receive it on tour, that is a far more likely event though I have never seen one of these. I have however seen many test tokens. This reminds me more of test pattern for the bullion Maples but I don't think it's that either. Report this Post to the Staff

pennylover1010 Valued Member Canada 200 Posts	Posted 04/17/2010 6:58 pm Yup - $2 (or maybe $1 - I can't recall) at the mint. Minted before your eyes. But Cliff, as wontoo's link shows that you can sell it for more than $2 so you did alright! Report this Post to the Staff
