Coloured circulation coins


Recommended Posts

I've seen lots of coloured coins about, so not sure precisely what this means?

I welcome comments:

PS - nice thought though... good intentions

Canada has issued many colourized coins, mostly in special packaging designed for collectors and gifts, but this coin (the red poppy coin) is the first one that is being produced in quantities to be distributed and circulated as normal coinage. It appears the mintage for this piece will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 million.
