I don't believe that will happen in our lifetime. Well, US cent already dropped the president. I personally like the design of the Canadian circulating coins better (though certain Statehood Quarters are very beautiful) while the quality of strike seems better in the south.

dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 11/02/2010 6:10 pm If we're talking business strikes, then RCM's cupro-nickel -> nickel plated steel have always seemed higher quality. The edge (copper/nickel) on the US have always looked to me like someone was trying to pull off a con. From a collector's standpoint, medal axis (Canada) is better for presentation than coinage axis (US). It is odd that while the US coins seem like they've never changed, they're actually, on average, newer than ours (1c - 1959, 5c - 1938, 10c - 1946, 25c - 1932) I agree with the post above that the Canadian 1937 reverses are long past due for a redo. But, I would redo with new artist contests for the same themes (new beaver, Bluenose, and moose). So, both a nod to tradition and something fresh. Report this Post to the Staff

Coin Chaser Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 11/02/2010 8:42 pm I am a collector of both Canadian and US coins. As having been connected to aviation my favorite sets are the Canadian Aviation Series one and Series two. Well done RCM. Report this Post to the Staff
