I would say the Canadian Mint has 'jumped the shark' with this one.....

This is turning numismatics into a childish circus.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
First it was "Nessie"............now a Caterpillar.
Who are they aiming this stuff at?

Be careful what you wish for..................

After I read the title I expected you to have an image of a toned coin you just purchased for yourself.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
If Ricko buys a toner, I'm heading for the bunker!!!
In the old days, critics used to sometimes say that a weak plot for bad movie came "from hunger." I think that the Canadian Mint is "hungry."
Some people will say it's not for me... others will say I want a couple of them... that translates into money. Just my thoughts.
at least the caterpillar will not tone!
That’s one of the craziest freaking coins I’ve even seen! As Chong would say, That’s far out man
Wacky stuff.
So, how many did ya buy, Ricko?

<<<<< Nature and bug enthusiasts, gardeners and glass collectors will be snatching up this coin featuring a Murano glass monarch caterpillar. Caterpillars are an essential part of the natural world. Without them, there can be no butterflies; and without milkweed plants, there can be no monarchs. It’s the only plant monarch larvae feed upon.
An ideal Murano glass coin for someone who enjoys caterpillars! Order today! >>>>>
Just more junk from the mint(s) that I will NEVER EVER buy!!!
I'd pay a loonie or two over melt.

There's all manner of little glass blown accoutrements' to adorn your Canadian coinage, snails, bees, frogs, etc.

i guess you have to give them credit for trying new ideas...
I cant wait for the miniature porcelain Elvis plates on a 1oz silver coin.
Yes it does!
It tones into a moth or butterfly.

On the Porcelain Throne. That's the one I'd buy.
Well alrighty then! Still deciding whether or not I want to unsee this or not. Different? Yes. For me? No way, and I do like to raise butterflies and moths too.

The art work is quite nice but I have a feeling these will go the way of the collector plates from the Franklin mint.

Crap.
You don't have to wait for that one to turn into a butterfly to fly away with your money.
Should have been a "Cent" i pede
Breast cancer awareness has obverse and reverse. I think they should've put an eagle on the back of it, honestly, or a new flowing hair.
Italian glass on a Canadian coin ...
