SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 11/15/2011 2:18 pm The Navy and Roughrider Loon dollar packages (5 for $5) were tested for PVC this past weekend (see link). They failed, and therefore should be removed from their packages. PVC will affect any alloy that contains copper. https://goccf.com/t/102183 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 11:09 am I received my 5 packs in the mail today. They have the same (hopefully non-pvc) packaging as the toonies. Maybe they took so long to receive because of the change in packaging. I'll take a closer look at the coins later. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 11:51 am received mine today as well,five will go in 2X2s just in case.Waited so long for these that I have found more than fifteen in circulation,kept the first five and have been spending the rest.I've found more of these loonies here than 2011 magnetic cents,I'm sure in other parts of the country the situation is reversed.
