bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 10/29/2010 7:08 pm Thanks, Scissel! I had no idea of that design, as I don't collect those coloured commemoratives. (Aren't forums great?!) It's really neat to see the "P" fitting above the legend like that. Report this Post to the Staff

Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 10/31/2010 8:04 pm My understanding is that some P's coins were minted in Canada, and some sent out to the US, who used a different sized P mark. You'll see big "P" and small "p" to differentiate who minted them. I can't remember who did which though. Maybe someone else in here knows for sure? I also don't know which coins or years the US might have minted any Canadian P coins either. Most of our coins have the small p on them so that makes me think the US used the big P but someone else who knows will have to verify which is correct for which country..

malibu Valued Member Canada 304 Posts	Posted 11/01/2010 12:46 pm As far as I know, since 1968 Canada has produced all of it's own coins. I see no reference to US production or US planchets in Charlton. Canada has imported US raw materials like rolled zinc but I believe we produce all our own planchets. Oh, there were "German" toonie planchets in 1996, but there is no distinguishing mark on those coins. That could be the only exception. The big "P" changed to a little "p" in 2003 when the Queen's crown came off. This had nothing to do with USA production. Report this Post to the Staff
Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 11/01/2010 6:19 pm I'm glad you posted this "P's" info here too Malibu. I'll try google up that info I found again to enquire of the poster or site owner where and how the person got that info about US/Canada and big and small P/p. Don't want to post wrong info and I'm sorry if I did :( Report this Post to the Staff
