All these years I thought they were a nickel bronze alloy.But redlock is right,according to the RCM site they're plated.It's amazing how a little misinformation can stick with you for a very long time.

There are talks of changing the loonie and twoonie for next year, however, I hope that is not the case. Nothing is more deceitful than using the same design for a different coin.
