Hey Dottir.. hey guys... I am here.
First of all, don't worry Dottir, if that one doesn't turn out, I'll make a new package and mail it to you registered this time. It was a medium sized brown cardboard envelope that was taped and secured. There was nothing about 30-40 coins inside it.
However, regarding is posting to Canada, I have to say it's the country where I have experienced most problems. earlier in 2009, I sold an item to Canada from ebay and mailed it via registered mail. To this day, I haven't still heard from it, neither it was returned, the tracking says it's released from customs for distribution, since roughly about 10 days from the original posting date. I refunded the ebay buyer.
I've traded with some Canadian users in out community too. I remember two envelopes going to the same address got lost, plus one very recently come back to my address saying "rejected" on it. Neither of those were registered. I re-mailed the latter one registered. Haven't heard from it still, yet it has been about a week since I mailed it.
I mail to the UK, Australia and the US from times to times. As much as I remember, I experienced only one loss to the USA around Christmas time this year. Also, two of the incoming mail to me got lost, one was a small letter-sized envelope from Kansas to here, and the latter is a bigger box, whom it could still turn out, as it has been about a month that it has been mailed. For the UK and Australia, thanks to God I haven't experienced any single loss, both registered and unregistered.
Canada is a beautiful country, I had been there like a lifetime ago (to Vancouver). However, maybe it is because the country is huge, maybe it is because the postal workers have a different operating system than Turkey, USA, Australia or UK, somehow I always am unlucky when posting/receiving to and from Canada. After all, only time I experienced a registered mail lost and not returned to sender was with Post Canada. Maybe I am doing something wrong, maybe the Post Canada is. I honestly do not know.
Back in 2005/2006, I had a collector friend (who has passed away now) living in BC, Canada. For about every month, we mail to each other. Between those dates, I think I mailed him somewhere about 10 and he mailed me about 15 different packages with no losses. Neither of those packages were registered too.
One last word, I made that package to Dottir, it wasn't a trade or a sell. There were some doubles among my collection which needed a new home. It's still fine, mail losses can happen (however, the rate seems to increase to me, specially when distance is involved) I will be more than happy to make another package, bigger this time, will register and book it, get the receipt and the number, and mail to Dottir, as soon as possible.

Am glad you found this thread. I'm hoping the package still gets here as it may still be hung up somewhere. I never thought for a minute any problem was on your end, unless it got lost by Turkey post 
One small bubble envelope I mailed to Texas ... went totally pfffffffffffft! Never to be seen or heard from again.
