Prana New Member Canada 17 Posts	Posted 08/31/2011 10:55 am I'm sure many are aware of this already but I just found out that the current "loonie" was actually supposed to have a voyager theme like its predecessors but the master reverse die was lost in shipment between Ottawa and Winnipeg, so a new design was necessary. I thought that was very interesting. But my question is does any one have an image of or info on possible prototypes or tests of those coins? Is it possible a few would have been made from the die? If they do exist what do you think they would be worth? Just curious. Report this Post to the Staff

If that were my employee I'd fire 'em and make sure that negligent person can't get an important job again. What a liability! Edited by Libertad 09/01/2011 08:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
