The Royal Canadian Mint has introduced its latest Gold Maple Leaf bullion coin – made entirely from gold sourced from a single mine in northern Ontario
Dunno but I like collecting odd things. Like state quarters are cool but like misprints are super cool. I’m not going to pay stupid amounts of money for it though
Same reason all other special coin mints happen. Personally I mostly don’t care, but I’m glad they’re using local gold instead of slave gold from abroad.
So one thing to understand is that the mint makes more than just Canadian currency. Usually things like this are sorta like advertising their abilities to any perspective customers. Of course they sell to the collectors market as well
