If the Canadian Registry gets its own forum...

...will there be a seperate forum for quebecoises (seperatistes)?

If I'm going to enter my coins in the Canadian Registry, I don't want those quebecois frogs's coins near mine.

Will we have to learn to speak Canadian? eh?

I just don't want to have to go back to learning French! About all I remember is that "PQ" is "FDC" in French.

Hmmm......Better go buy up a bunch of Canadian Coins and Reap the Profit.

I think a Canadian registry would initially cause prices of all Canadian coins to go up, but eventually the more plentiful dates would become more common in slabs, and prices would be more realistic. That would follow the pattern set by US coins in the late '80's-early '90's.

I began 30 years ago to form sets of Canadian cents, dimes, quarters from 1937, and dollars from 1935. Many of the coins were very inexpensive, yet not easy to locate. There are still a few gaps in all of the sets, so perhaps increases in the numbers slabbed would make them more marketable and obtainable. I recently purchased some on TT that I thought were very reasonably priced.

You don't need to know French to interpret the legends on older Canadian coins, but knowing Latin might be helpful.
