The Royal Canadian Mint is releasing a limited edition coin with our country’s first prime minister, Sir John A. MacDonald, on the two-dollar coin to celebrate what would have been his 200th birthday. The release of this coin is all in anticipation for the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation, which will begin in the year 2017.
The coin pack that the Mint is releasing includes 5 of the $2 coins that features the first prime ministers profile, and will be sold for just $10 plus free-shipping. By selling these coins at their exact value, and also allowing them to be in regular circulation, means that you really have nothing to lose in this deal; except perhaps the wonderful addition of a proud piece of Canadian history in your coin collection, which really is no loss at all!
Deals like these at the Royal Canadian Mint never last for very long, or rather the stock never stays around for very long so you had better order your pack soon if you are wishing to take advantage of this no loss deal.
