How to Start a Collection of Canadian Coin Rolls

March 16, 2023 by Colonial Acres Coins

To make a distribution to financial institutions easier, the Royal Canadian Mint gathers coins of the same denomination in standard quantities and wraps them in paper or plastic. These Canadian coin rolls may seem purely practical at first, but some collectors also take an interest in them. If you are interested in collecting coin rolls, you need to know what is out there and how to differentiate from the options available because some are more valuable than others. Original Wrap Rolls Original wrap rolls consist of circulation coins packaged by the RCM for distribution. The outer wrapping features standard markings….

Will Canadian Coins and Banknotes have King Charles on Them in the Future?

February 17, 2023 by Colonial Acres Coins

A portrait of Queen Elizabeth II has appeared on Canadian coins since 1953, a year after she came to the throne. Her Majesty started appearing on Canada paper money even before that, as a young member of the royal family (but not, at that point, an heir to the throne) on the first series of bills in 1935. For decades, the Royal Canadian Mint has issued coins commemorating certain landmark events in Her Majesty’s life, including one for her Platinum Jubilee in 2022, that Canadians could purchase and keep as keepsakes. Now that Queen Elizabeth has died, Canadians probably wonder…

New 2023 Royal Canadian Mint Silver Coin Celebrates Love

February 16, 2023 by Colonial Acres Coins

The selectively gold-plated, 99.99% fine silver, $20 Celebrate Love coin would make an excellent gift for someone who is close to you and to whom you would like to demonstrate your love and undying loyalty….

Learn more About the Royal Canadian Air Force Red Knight Coin

January 16, 2023 by Colonial Acres Coins

If you are interested in either Canadian coins or aerobatics, you are probably already familiar with the commemorative coins celebrating the Snowbirds and the Golden Hawks. The Red Knight was an air display team that predated the former and outlasted the latter, but since the cancellation of the program in 1970, fewer Canadians are familiar with it. In 2022, the Royal Canadian Mint released a pure silver $30 coin commemorating the Red Knight for the first time. It is likely to be popular with both aviation enthusiasts and those who appreciate Canadian coins. Origins The Canadian International Air Show is…

Cedar Waxwing Featured on the New $20 Colourful Bird Coin

November 7, 2022 by Colonial Acres Coins

No matter where you travel in Canada, you are likely to see at least one cedar waxwing bird. Because the cedar waxwing likes to feed in flocks, you are likely to see more than one, perhaps in your own backyard. It is featured on the newest Canadian coins for sale in the Colourful Bird series, which is good news for those who like coin collecting and birdwatching alike. Where Does the Cedar Waxwing Bird Get Its Name? Cedar waxwings primarily feed on insects and berries. In the winter, food becomes scarce, but cedar berries are still available. These become the…

Lower Canada Tokens and the Rebellion in 1837

September 29, 2022 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on October 3rd, 2022 at 12:13 pm1837 isn’t a particularly noteworthy year in the archives of history. Yet in Canada, which was not officially Canada at the time, two rebellions took place that were part of the events that led to the country’s nationhood. Lower Canada tokens are part of the history of that time frame, but they don’t tell the whole story of the uprisings. Here’s the importance of these tokens that represent what was happening in Lower and Upper Canada. Historical Context For The Rebellions of 1837 The United States had recently been born. Britain was…

How Were the Upper Canada Copper Tokens Used in History?

August 29, 2022 by Colonial Acres Coins

Living in the 1800s would be quite the experience for modern-day people. On a daily basis, you would face zero modern conveniences, lots of manual labour, and exposure to the elements. Life for merchants, farmers, bankers, and traders was also tricky, in that there was no set monetary standard for buying and selling. People would barter, coin their own money, or use any number of national, tribal, and international currencies to try and buy goods. The Upper Canada Bank Token was an attempted solution to this problem. An English explorer named John McTaggart adventured for three years in Canada and…
