My Dad was in the RCAF stationed in England during WWII, he served in Bomber Command. He has since passed on but I’ve ordered all of the RCM 100th anniversary coin offerings including these colorized toonies, I feel like I’m honoring his memory and service to Canada. It’s great to see the RCM put out this series of coins.
I think the coin in both painted and non-painted look beautiful. A nice touch is the display of additional aircraft designs along outer ring field. Can’t wait to trade for them with a Canadian collector to add one into my collection. Thanks for the info.
Great video, I did get confirmation that its 2 Million mintage on the colour and 1 Million on the non-colourized toonies. I decided to order the $15 Keepsake card, I'll bust out the toonies to put in my Lighthouse Vista Album. One thing to note about the Keepsake card this time is that it does not feature any other coins for 2024 like the previous keepsakes did. So its maybe a tad bit expensive, but I suppose its free shipping.
@@CADRollHunter I wish you good luck I suggest keep the one you find because rn all the coins are almost mint condition like mine hopefully not gnna get as bad as my d day coin xd
Got mine yesterday for 2x face without having to line up or visit dozens of banks. Only bought the two and keeping my eye out for others in chance or an opportunity to pick them up at a nearby exchange if the line up is not hours long.
Just ordered a 2023 and 2024 uncirculated set from the Royal Canadian Mint. Cool sets. Plus new ones with King Charles III. Figured as a US Citizen it'll be a cool part of my collection to go with a few Canadian 50 cent pieces and a couple of silver dollars from 1966.
@@CADRollHunter For sure. I have a number of different older foreign coins: Some francs, Lira, Marks. Nothing extensive. Just some nice coins. I don't have a big collection.
Went to the bank today and asked if they have any Mint boxes of Toonies and the teller walked out of the safe with a mint box of Indigenous & Black Ring Toonies. 😂 Not what I wanted but it is better than I expected.
That's pretty awesome! Last week in Edmonton I was at a venue that was cash-only. Each time I bought a drink I got a brand new black ring toonie in my change. They must have gotten those same boxes!!
@@CADRollHunter I'm in Toronto and just happen upon a bank/branch that by chance had the boxes sitting in the safe since 2022/2023. Very fortunate. Just searched one box for errors and unique coins. Got a few boxes on order and hoping to get the RCAF coins in a box too. You're in Edmonton? We get a lot of coins here in Toronto.
@@BlockBlockas Very fortunate to happen upon a branch that had a stash of these toonies. That's awesome! I'm actually in SouthWestern Ontario. I was just in Edmonton last week for the Canadian Country Music Awards. I usually like to visit a local coin store or pick up some coins from a local bank when I'm travelling, but I didn't get a chance to do that this time!
I usually just get a pair from eBay for $10 including shipping for each year. I don’t have a need to have a full roll that’s just going to collect dust. As a cashier surprisingly I never see those coloured coins if so it’s faded and scratched up so its not worth keeping. Vancouver B.C.
Some banks just won't let you do it, and others want to preserve coin for their business customers, which is understandable. I've only asked once, and my branch essentially told me that there was no need to order and they'd sell me whatever they have when I ask. Having said that, sometimes they just don't have enough on hand. It's hard to do coin roll hunting videos when you can't get enough coins to hunt.
@@devrybrodziak2876 Canada Post will often carry the Keepsake Cards (the one that has both toonies), but I don't think they've carrie the rolls in the past. I believe the Mint will give you free shipping within Canada.
Do you happen to know if the "colorized" roll contains ALL color or just some, like previous versions. If it's just some, no need to reply as that'll be my answer. Thank you.
Well - the answer, I think, is both, actually! The special mint rolls that I showed are either all colour or all non-colour. The rolls that will be issued for circulation (more likely those shrink-wrap plastic or plain machine wrapped), have typically been a mix of both. If you're lucky to get a roll from the bank, that's what you're going to get.
It's out now. I expect the banks have had it for a week or so. They'll often get them in advance with a "do not distribute until." But, I didn't hear any rumours about what the subject was.
@@KyleProductions-t4x Those numbers will be the Mint Special Wrap rolls. The rest will be circulating coinage or other sets. 2M for colour and 1M for non-colour in total.
Stopped by the bank today and asked for any mint wrapped toonies and loonies. This was my first time coin roll hunting. Ended up getting a whole roll of the Anne of Green Gables Loonies. I haven’t opened it but I can tell from the sides that they are all the same. The front facing one is non coloured. Would there be a chance of any colourized ones inside?
@@CADRollHunter I tend to prefer the mixed designs of early with colour and non colour parts than the full center colour. The Bill Reid was great for sure. But most of the ones that followed on the same pattern, have been in my view of diminishing greatness. I think the Mint at this point is simply milking the cow too much with these coins.
@@leelifeson2128 I don't completely disagree with that. Whey they introduced the Summit Series coin, my first thought was that it looked just like putting a sticker on a coin, rather than an advanced minting process. For some reason I didn't feel the same about the Bill Reid coin - perhaps because of the artwork itself.
Hey James👍🖐😎🇨🇦🦅🇺🇸just wondering if you have a list of all twoonie ,lonnie qaurters etc.that are desirable..ive been collecting for some time and im pretty disorganized and trying to get things sorted..lol...thanx andcenjoy all your hunts👍..p.s. all years

That commemorative Toonie looks cool
I agree!!
i ordered a roll of the Colorized ones.!!! I'm also an aviation enthusiast so for me these are extra awesome.!!!
Nice. And the design looks great, in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
*What a gorgeous design! A must have for any coin collector.*
I think so too! Thanks so much for dropping in! Have a great day!
Just ordered a roll of colourized
Nice!
I joined the RCAF in 1966 as a pilot. It is nice to see these coins and can’t wait to get a couple
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you get them!
I'd like to purchase a set and maybe couple others, for my Retired RCAF Father for his Birthday🎉
That's probably a great gift. Did he fly or work around any of the featured aircraft on the coins?
@@CADRollHunter Fly with, repair damaged or electronics needed programming.
I believe RCM will release 1 more colorized & non-colorized toonie this year ?!
Yes, that's right. I'm not exactly sure when the last one will be released. But the Mint's website says "Coming Soon."

That makes sense on the mintages. I like that they've been very consistent with that formula for the commemorative $1 and $2 coins.
Very cool 🎉
Thanks for dropping in!!
No Lancaster was disappointing as we have one of the last few flying at the museum. $30 premium for a roll is very steep.
The coin shops will be selling these for $5-6 right out of these rolls. But I'd prefer to pay $2 for a nice one!
i collect coins a bit recently i got one of these toonies in super good condition in pocket change
Awesome! Haven't gotten one just yet!
@@CADRollHunter I wish you good luck I suggest keep the one you find because rn all the coins are almost mint condition like mine hopefully not gnna get as bad as my d day coin xd
Welcome back! I like those sets .... might buy one roll.. not sure
Thanks! It was a fun time out West, for sure. Overwhelming, of course, with so much going on, but lots of music, and making connections.
@@CADRollHunter sorry I missed ya, was busy here myself and couldn't get away.
im gonna need one colored
Same here!!
@@CADRollHunter3:12 i got one it beautiful
Great looking toonies. I have to get some
Ordered a set from mint earlier today!
Excellent! Thanks for watching!
Ohh this one is definitely in my top 5. I also really like the Bill Reid toonie. Can't wait to find my first RCAF toonie though!
This one's definitely up there for me - looking forward to seeing one in hand!
Got mine yesterday for 2x face without having to line up or visit dozens of banks. Only bought the two and keeping my eye out for others in chance or an opportunity to pick them up at a nearby exchange if the line up is not hours long.
That's a great deal. Actually better than the coin stores have been selling them at when they're issued. Where did you get them?!
@@CADRollHunter Colonial Acres Coins in Kitchener
I got the blue Hercules twoonie in my change 2 weeks ago (B.C)
Nice - great to hear that they're making their way across the country!
Love this coin. Cant wait to find some in some toonies rolls!
Me, too!! I have a feeling I'll be waiting a bit!
@@CADRollHunter I got lucky with the loonie that got released. I got over 50 of them now. I’m hope I can get lucky again🤞

Hey James, do you know how to order coins from the bank? The teller told me I can only get 10 rolls of each denomination.
Some banks just won't let you do it, and others want to preserve coin for their business customers, which is understandable.

Having said that, sometimes they just don't have enough on hand. It's hard to do coin roll hunting videos when you can't get enough coins to hunt.
im in edmonton, would i be able to get these other then buying these from the websites?
Some banks will have them in your area. You might have to try several banks and just ask if they have any.

how would one go about asking the bank if they have these?

The rolls that are distributed through the banks are typically mixed - so you should have a bunch of both!
I just traded all my Fiat for Bullion 999 Silver
Your Fiat was a depreciating asset. This should stop the bleeding. ;)
I think it looks terrible. And to put an american airplane as the centerpiece, from Lockheed no less, is questionable to say the least.
I'll disagree with you on the quality of the design - I think it looks great. But I'll agree that a Canadian plane would have been a great touch.
