RE: More Canadian junk/LPUD/Reblog lottery

The old cad dollars have the best “hand feel” of all… imo.

Interesting fact about (pre-‘67) Cad coinage:

$1 of face value = 0.6 oz of .999 Ag

So, the $1 dollar coins have 0.6oz .999 Ag

As do: 2 x .50 cent pieces, 4 quarters, or ten dimes.

Also, back then of course nickels we’re made of nickel, but I don’t have those stats at hand. 🤩👍👍

Sort:  

I know that bit and I think it's a really cool concept to match the weight with the different denomination

Adds up to 5 bucks, ya got 3 ounces… I like it, and big fan of old Cad coins 😁👍👍
