News. 2. Bi-metalic 2 Dollar fom Canda...by Frns Woons,
Canada
Last week I received a 2010 proof (silver) Canadian Bi-metallic $ 2 coin (toony) I had bought on eBay. The funny colours are due to internal reflections within my scanner. I found that proof (and specimen) coins are difficult to scan. The Royal Canadian Mint produces pretty well every year
toonies in four qualities: * proof * Specimen (I sent you images of this variety a few days
ago) * brilliant uncirculated (in sets) * business strikes (for circulation) While the first one is in silver (with gold plated centre), the other three are in base metals. Thus far 17 different proof toonies (1996 – 2010) and 17 different specimen toonies can be collected.
