$20 for $20 Canadian Dollar - Any Comments

[AuStruck]

The latest offer from the Canadian Mint in the $20 for $20 series is a branch of maple leaves fallen on water.

Does any one have any comments on this coin offer?

[AuStruck]

Sold out.

Note that shipping will start in Nov. The free shipping code for the other worked.

What is the free shipping code? Does it work in the USA?

I bought the polar bear coin, and I think I'll try to pick up the magical reindeer, but I didn't get the other ones. Great coins and great idea by the RCM. I wish the US would do something like that.

I was at the mint on the 14th and asked for the $20 reindeer and they told me they wont come out untill halloween. So instead I traded paper for steel... Got myself a bunch of war of 1812 quarters and toonies

I am often jealous of the Canadian Mint. They always seem to have cool stuff. I can't think of any current American coin (or bill, for that matter) that I like more than its Canadian counterpart. I'm going to be in Canada next week. If I stop by a bank, could I get any of the War of 1812 commemoratives there?

I doubt they will have them.
Your best bet would be the royal bank. All you can do is ask... All that is out so far is the Brock quarter and the Shannon toonie.
