Anyone with access to recent Canadian coins looking to trade for same or recent U.S. ?

Anyone out there looking to help someone fill a few remaining holes in their Canadian coin collections with relatively recent issues, and looking for the same to help them complete recent-issue holes in their own Canadian or U.S. collections?

For the most part, I've resigned myself to the fact that there are older, more rare/expensive dates missing from our Canadian coin collections that I can't afford to buy at this point. But I'm at least trying to keep all our Whitman folders current.

But due either to lapses in my collecting efforts, the move of some series (like halves) to non-circulating, or RCMP limits on availability of special/commemorative or colorized coins (primarily quarters, loonies, & twonies), we still have several holes left to be filled.

At the same time, we have some extras to trade. Some from circulation (older & newer dates), some PL from earlier swaps, etc. Nothing rare or valuable, however.

Just looking to similarly-minded collectors who might be interested in swapping.

Below's my remaining "recent" needs list. Please feel free to either add below or PM me with your "needs"/"extras" lists, and maybe we can get some swaps going between 2 or more Forum members.

My "needs" & (number needed):


CENTS:
2006-P (magnetic/steel) = 1
2010-RCM (magnetic/steel) = 4

NICKELS: n/a

DIMES: n/a

QUARTERS:
2007-09 "Olympics" quarters (2 any coin - - need to fill "obverse" holes in folders)
2009-10 "Paralympics" quarters (3 any coin - - need to fill "obverse" holes in folders)
2013 "Arctic Whale" (BU version) = 2
2013 "Arctic Exploration" (BU version) = 2
2014 "Arctic Whale" (Frosted version) = 2
2014 "Arctic Exploration" (Frosted version) = 2
2015-RCM "50th Flag" (non-colorized) = 3

HALVES: n/a

LOONIES:
1997 = 1
1998 = 1
2009 "Montreal Canadians" = 2
2010-RCM (regular) = 2
2012-RCM (regular) = 3
2014-RCM (regular) = 3

TWOONIES:
2012-RCM (regular) = 2
2014-RCM = 3


I'll put out a list of Canadian extras next, and feel free to PM me with specific recent U.S. needs. I may have some extras there up until the U.S. Mint stopped issuing halves & dollars for circulation).

Thanks!!

    I have been sending all of my post 1970 Canadian cents back into the coin machine at the bank.

    I will look closer at them and save whatever ones you need.

    Thanks!

    It's just the 2 dates on the cents, but made a bit tougher by the mintmark & magnetic/non-magnetic varieties to sort from.........

    How long does the RCM figure it will be before most circulating cents are gone/returned/melted and out of the economy?
