My parents had a bird similar to the one illustrated when I was a kid. However, I definitely will not be buying that so-called "coin." My goodness, what will the Canadian mint think of next? Maybe a 3-d appreciation of the Sports Illustrated swim suit issue?



More seriously, I think novelty issues such as this perhaps attract a few new people to buy the specific coin but subtract from long-term collectors.

Not in a geographical sense, but these are produced by the Royal Canadian Mint which is actually part of Canada. It's even IN Canada and run by Canadians, eh.

Hideous, but the RCM jumped the shark like a decade ago, so this doesn't surprise me.

Exactly what most Canadians (me included) have thought.
