All our mint can do is make coins out of cheap metal. Maybe they ought to try tin next. It's a soft metal and they can call it folding money.[/size]

Too bad they aren't for general circulation... Canadians might never lose a quarter again! I like the design on it as well.

I like the idea. I wish our government would take some clues and kill our 1 cent coin as a start!

I think that would be a disaster for beach hunting , we would be unable to find a coin ever again , they would always find there money.
