Wikipedia says there's 34 million of them. What am I missing?

I just found the 6th community coin! Sorry, but it isn't the "community coin" which is rare (there are millions). It's the "P" under the queen that makes it rare. Let us know if yours has a "P"! If so...  Edited by bibd

If it's a genuine "P", that's a seriously nice find! What was the origin of it...ie. was it from roll searching, pocket change, or other?

I hope your has a P under the Queen! I look for any and all 2000 coins and look for that P. If I ever find one I'll laugh all the way to the bank and move out of my unsuitable apartment as soon as I auction it off! It's exciting to find the 2000 coins and look for that illusive P!! My fingers are crossed for you  |

P means it's plated zinc or steel. Some 2000 P coins were test coins given to businesses to test vending machines only, not meant or circulation and spending, but some of them "got out" in circulation, is how I understand the story. Other years have P coins too, and they're regular circulation coins, but the 2000's were not meant to circulate.
A 2000 coin with a "P" on it, below the Queen's neck, could be big bucks. Others in here know more than I do about this.

Unless it's a 200P 5 cent coin. Then it's small bucks, but still more than 5 cents :)

In 1999, they made a few thousand P-sets for sale. But in 2000, it seems you had to get your P-coins (non-nickel) by having very lucky connections. I'd love to know who owns these coins... maybe vending head honchos or RCM employees' family! (Yeah, that's fair.) I'd also love to see a picture of a 2000-P commemorative quarter. There doesn't seem to be room for a "P" on that quarter, since there's already some text under the queen's effigy. This is very curious! Let's wait to see if any pictures of this show up here. Sadly, I kind of doubt they will. |

The 2000P coins have the same obverse design as the 2001 coloured Canada Day coin. Having never seen a 2000P in-hand I'm not totally sure if the same die was used though.  |
