They could be anything, from till change to purchases straight from the mint! If it's in your collection it has a reason to be there, regardless of the type of reasoning.

It's nearly impossible for me to choose a favourite, but if I absolutely had to it would probably be the Canadian Symbol: The Beaver because I love that it shows both the above water view and the underwater view. The artist, Maurade Baynton, did an amazing job designing it, and there's so many details to it that really paint a natural scene in action.

A friend got this toonie and thought it seemed off. The edges say “Canada 2 Dollars”, and it feels lighter than an average toonie.

I am not Canadian & it's been a while since I've seen one of these. Heard 1996 is a fairly common year for fakes.

So far as I can tell, I don't see any signs it's not real, but I wanted to run it past actual Canadian numismatists real quick.

found in till, 1981

Something different for this subreddit. Didn't know there were so many interesting events surrounding the toonie.

Popped the till open at work this morning and found some new additions to the collection! I always bring a little cash to exchange at face for cool coins. I haven’t seen any Aurora Toonie’s in the wild for some time now so it was neat to find even tho the condition isn’t top notch. The 66 was the star of the show though :) Cheers!

I found this while rolling change and found it odd. I was wondering if anyone had any information about it.

I collect American and Canadian coins but the Voyageur dollar is my outright favorite since i was a child.

The scene on the reverse: the weathered and weary voyageurs, the snowy Canadian forest under the cast of the northern lights is so evocative and romantic for me. It makes me nostalgic and yearn for a time that I was never in. It even has a HB for hudson bay company if you look close.

I have an entire NGC slab box of these things. Nobody wants them in american coin shops. I hate how they shrunk it down into a smaller nickel coin in 1968. If you look at the NGC or PCGS census, it is surprisingly hard to find the silver ones in grades above 65, even though it's not a terribly old coin nor did it ever circulate well.

A newer piece to my collection, a 1920 dime, I bought it for $30 off a local dealer. It has a strong luster but the lighting is a little weird so you can’t really see it here, but overall it seems to be in a high grade (Ef-Ms). It also has die cracks on the obverse’s legend along with a rotated die. If there’s anything I got wrong or missed please point it out.

Been a bit, just casually collecting coins that look different. Got a roll as change from the bank once. That was cool. This is the loons and toons I got. What you all think? Lots of doubles, pairs.

Thanks to this sub for helping me organize/catalog/price these.

Nickels oddly enough came from change at 7-11 the rest from a storage locker, Yes I know the rubbed smooth quarter is rare but it’s useless for collecting just silver scrap now. The book itself is beat this wasn’t well taken care of.

came in and it was sitting in the till.

A small sample of my inherited collection. It's been so interesting learning about numismatics. Found some interesting variations my grandfather had no idea he had.

Someone came in wanting to exchange these for face value. I mentioned they migth be worth more there from 1968 to 1980. What would average price be?

rough condition someone came in with this not sure worth anything.

Is worth anything its dirty and not in best condition

Best find ive had so far for sure :)
