There is an even earlier effagy of the Queen which appeared on Canadian coins. She's quite young, and has what can only be describ ed as ribbons in her hair. It should be added.
There is another set of quarters - the provincial series of 1992. As well, I believe all denominations in 1992 were "special" .. yup, see here: http://members.shaw.ca/kcic1/coins3.html for pictures of them all. cheater 21:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Transfer content from Royal Canadian Mint
The article Royal Canadian Mint contains a good deal of content that relates specifically to Coins of the Canadian dollar and would more appropriately go in this article -- for example, about the WW2 change in the composition of the nickel. (And neither article mentions the consequent shape change, which persisted for 20 years.)
I've put "mergeto" tags on a couple of sections in the RCM article, but really someone needs to go through it sentence by sentence and transfer those parts of the content that belong here, not whole sections. 207.176.159.90 00:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Even though some things are similar in the two articles, the Royal Canadian Mint main article needs the information too. As the main article, it should have all key elements. Maple Leaf 13:03, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reasons for coin size similarities?
The historical sizes of the coins less than 50¢ are identical to those of U.S. coins due to both nations using the Spanish dollar as the basis of their money.
Can someone explain this connection further? I'm sure it's at least 150 years since the Spanish dollar coin was withdrawn from circulation in the US and Canada, and it doesn't adequately explain why Canadian coins worth less than a dollar are still the same size as the equivalent US coinage.
Changing the coins isn't all that difficult. Here in the UK, three circulating coins (the 5p, 10p, and 50p) have been changed in size in recent years with no apparent problems, and in the same time frame numerous European countries have changed over their entire currencies (coinage included) to the Euro - so it would clearly be possible for Canada to change its coin sizes if it really wanted to. This leads me to wonder if there are some clear advantages, other than mere historical precedent, in keeping the coins the same size as the USA's. 217.155.20.163 21:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Sure they could be changed if anyone "really wanted to", but nobody does, so why not leave them alone? The sizes are the same as when silver coins were silver, about 40 years ago now, and that's where the connection to the Spanish dollar is. --207.176.159.90 (talk) 02:16, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Loonie reverse view.png
Image:Loonie reverse view.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Missing obverse illustration
Any reason why the QE2 obverse of 1952-65 isn't illustrated? I imagine the intent isn't to create a gallery (otherwise it could be asked why not any George VI, George V etc. obverses, too) but the 52-65 obverse is still widely circulated. 68.146.41.232 16:42, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of US coins
How common is the use of same sized US coins in Canada? I found a reference in a council's bylaw in relation to parking meters; http://city.brockville.on.ca/forms/119-89%20Parking%20By-law.pdf. If you look at section 89 d, it seems to imply that they are happy, or at least not against US coins being used in their parking meters. Tarcus (talk) 09:03, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Toonie popping
On the Toonie article, the "Miscellanea" section states that there is an urban legend that the "toonie popping" problem was fixed, when in actuality no changes were made and everyone just forgot about it. On this article, though, it is stated that there is an urban legend that the problem still exists, when in actuality it was fixed. Neither claim is supported with any references. This is absurd. If no one can provide evidence one way or the other, BOTH claims should be deleted. 146.6.201.99 (talk) 21:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Cdn 50 Cent Piece.JPG
The image Image:Cdn 50 Cent Piece.JPG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
-
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
- That this article is linked to from the image description page.
