Evolving Security Features That Guard Against Misuse, Fraud, and Contamination from Foreign Coinage Security Evolving security features that guard against misuse, fraud, and contamination from foreign coinage Security is about strengthening the integrity of the coinage and making the coins even more resistant to counterfeiting. If your coins resemble each other or coins from another country, they risk being used fraudulently or improperly. Thanks to the diligent work of our engineers, scientists and technicians, and the participation of millions of coin users, we have developed innovative security measures with unprecedented effectiveness. GIVE YOUR COINS A UNIQUE IDENTITY SM&RT VISION—SM&RT is a promise that your country’s story is in safe hands. Thanks to its distinctive blend of EMS Security—All coins have an electro-magnetic signature innovative technology and skilled craftsmanship, SM&RT (EMS) and this security feature allows vending machines to delivers coins that—like your country—have a unique identity. identify a coin’s value.

THE INTEGRITY OF COINS IS EVEN MORE ROBUST GIVEN THE ADDITION OF VISIBLE SECURITY FEATURES INTRODUCING NEW SECURITY MEASURES OF Serrations—Variations to the serrations, commonly known UNPRECEDENTED EFFECTIVENESS as edge reeding, can be applied to the outside edge of the coin to provide enhanced security. Examples of this include Virtual Image—A special feature applied to the coin in which interrupted serrations (groups of serrations equally spaced) a different image is produced as the coin is turned from side and mini-scalloped. to side. The virtual image engraves different patterns on each side of two-sided grooves on the face of the coin. Edge Lettering—A special process is used to add edge lettering to the circumference of each coin. It can be applied Laser Mark Micro-engraving—The laser mark consists of a on a plain or in combination with an interrupted serration special design positioned within a circle on the coin.

    COINS FROM THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT 2014 | NUMBER 1 PRESERVED foreVER UNFORGETTABLE WITH WORLD- MOMENTS RENOWNED COINS. AT BOUTIQUES AND MINT.CA startING JanuarY 7 153rd BATTalION IN TraINIng. SOurCE: Canada. DEPT. OF NATIONAL DEFenCE / LIbrarY and ARCHIVES Canada / PA-022759 THE POWER OF A WAR-TIME EMBRACE. When Britain declared war on Germany on August 4, 1914, its entire Empire was drawn into the conflict, including Canada. Across the Dominion, men flocked to recruiting stations. Within two months, Canada’s pre-war militia that included a standing army of 3,110 men had grown to 33,000. Many were recent British immigrants or native-born Canadians of British origin, but among them were also more than 1,000 French Canadians, many First Nations as well as many others from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Five hundred soldiers from the British colonies of Newfoundland and Labrador also joined the ranks, while some 2,500 women stepped forward to serve as nurses. Train stations across Canada became the stage for tearful goodbyes and lingering embraces. The First World War was a true coming of age for the young nation, and the hope, fear, courage and deep sacrifice Canadians felt 100 years ago remain as poignant and inspiring today. Designed by Canadian artist Bonnie Ross, this coin depicts a couple’s emotional farewell as the first wave of volunteers boards for camp. Time stands still for this couple as they savour one last embrace before his departure. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who answered the call of duty, and their loved ones who remained on the home front.

  • Collecting Canadian Dollars by Thomas Coulson Canada Issued Its First Circulating Silver Dollar in 1935 to Observe the 25Th Anniversary of King George V’S Reign
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Canadian Dollars by Thomas Coulson Canada issued its first circulating silver dollar in 1935 to observe the 25th anniversary of King George V’s reign. The new silver dollar re- verse featured an Indian and a trader travelling by canoe to deliver goods they have collected. The canoe travels by a backdrop of a small island set against the Northern Lights (Aurura Borealis). This marked a major departure from previous Canadian silver coin designs which had all dis- played some form of wreath since 1858. The 1935 Canadian Silver Dol- lar was the first in a series of modernized designs released by the Royal Canadian Mint; similar to the renaissance of design embarked upon by the United States a generation earlier. 1935 Canadian Dollar The ‘Voyageur’ reverse was generally well received. The design was clean, simple, and fresh compared to the tired wreath types. The canoe with island and Northern Lights was and is distinctly Canadian. It exemplifies one of Canada’s greatest assets: natural beauty. The Voyageur and Indian transporting goods recall the harvesting of ample natural resources as a cornerstone of Canada’s economy. One of the parcels on the canoe also carries the initials H.B. This denotes the archetypic Cana- dian Hudson’s Bay Company; with a storied trading resume dating back to 1670. Though many citizens objected to this free representation of a commercial business on the coin, there was no doubting the Cana- dian theme. Objections aside, the design was simply beautiful and purely Canadian. The new dollar denomination and design proved popular enough to continue production through 1938.

  • 100Th Anniversary of the Canadian Penny
    Economic Viewpoint April 9, 2008 www.desjardins.com/economics April 9, 2008 100th anniversary of the Canadian penny Follow-up to the study "Should We An opportunity to re-examine the usefulness Stop Using the of our coins and bank notes in circulation Penny?" SUMMARY In February 2007, the study published by Desjardins Group’s Economic Studies concluded that the penny should be retired as quickly as possible. The study sparked interest among Canadians, in the print and electronic media and even abroad. The innovative approach used, which involved estimating the costs for society as a whole by totalling the costs incurred by the different economic agents, was favourably received by experts. The penny’s 100th anniversary, on January 2, prompted us to further our thinking in this regard, but also on all Canadian denominations (coins and bank notes). Since our study was released, the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) published its 2006 annual report in May 2007, which shows that the production of coins in Canada rose sharply in 2006, i.e., from 1.5 to 2.2 billion pieces. In our view, this dramatic surge in production reflects the fact that Canadians increasingly hoard low-denomination coins rather than use them to pay for their cash purchases. This is particularly true for the penny whose annual production rose 51% in 2006, from 767 million to 1,160 million pieces. Due to the hoarding phenomenon—stockpiled coins that serve no productive purpose— merchants and financial institutions routinely need new coins for the retail distribution system. In fact, due to the resulting strong "artificial" demand, the RCM must produce more Canadian coins and cannot free up some of its production capacity to produce more lucrative foreign coins.
