The Royal Canadian Mint has issued several series of Chinese zodiac coins. The Chinese zodiac is a 12-year cycle based on the traditional lunar calendar. Every year has an animal associated with it.

An ancient story explains why each animal is included in the Chinese zodiac and why they follow a specific order. What Animals Are Included in the Chinese Zodiac? Chinese zodiac symbols comprise the following 12 animals, here presented in alphabetical order rather…

The 2021 Australia Kookaburra 1oz Silver Coin

November 26, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Most people who buy silver bullion in Canada aren’t collectors but investors. They want to convert their wealth to precious metals that are liquid and easily portable. You can purchase bullion from countries other than the one you live in, and many Canadian investors purchase gold and silver from countries such as the United States or Australia. However, the Australian Silver Kookaburra coin is an example of a bullion coin that also attracts the attention of collectors.

How Much Could The Canadian $1 Bill Be Worth Now?

November 24, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Current Canadian paper currency has security features that help prevent counterfeiting. Older, discontinued bills lack these features. In an effort to curb counterfeiting, these discontinued Canadian banknotes can no longer be used in transactions. This doesn’t mean that they do not have value, however. If you have discontinued bills in denominations of $1,000, $500, $25, $2, or $1, you can return them to the Bank of Canada and redeem them for the face value. However, before you remit a Canadian one-dollar bill, take a close look at it. If it is in very good condition or bears other rare features,…

2021 $200 Maple Leaf Celebration Piedfort Pure Gold Coin!

November 17, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on June 1st, 2022 at 11:49 amLast Updated on June 1, 2022 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins In 1996, a proclamation officially established the maple tree as the national arboreal emblem of Canada. However, the maple leaf had appeared as a symbol on Canadian coins long before that.

November 4, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

In addition to being fun and educational, coin collecting can be a lucrative hobby, with some rare coins being worth hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars. In many cases, the value of the coin depends on the condition. You may think that this means you have to clean your coins to maintain their condition, but this isn’t necessarily true.
