    Single-sourced, mine-to-table artisanal coins. How hipster!

      I’ll bite, since I’m not Canadian. What would you rather have in place of the King?

          Never met the guy, but do tell what you know from your friendship.

        I vote that we choose a mascot animal and use that, like Athens did with their tetradrachma for centuries.

    I don’t understand the point of making a coin that has ~$3500 worth of gold in it, and then giving it an official face value of $50.

      Goldbugs have a lot of nostalgia for the Gilded Age, so they put the face value it where it would have been in 1896.

    I also don’t understand why the mint doesn’t have any for sale – but you can apparently get them at Costco.
