Our Mint is focusing on producing snappy coloured coins that fade faster than ever. They dont concern themselves with the fate of coins after shipment.
If our currency barely works in our own vending machines, what hope is there for yours
Every time I go to Canada I try and get rid of all paper and loonies/doubles before I leave. The rest will spend here, other than vending machines. If I miss a few they go with me the next time.
I used to collect coins but 10 years ago my collection is gone, I sold them due to necessity. Now I'm planning to start a collection again and I think your coin is of good value.
