Hey! Look at What our Canadian Friends are doing with their Maple Leaf's

Will it stymie the counterfeiters?

It seems it would be pretty high tech and expensive to replicate that, but who knows?

 

They look pretty cool.

 

My issue with it is to me it lowers the appearance of the coin. Maybe I am just goofy, (ok I know I am), but at least half the reason I like buying pm is because I LOVE pm. These security makrs lowers the aesthetic appeal in my eyes.

Maybe it would be better if they would take Winston Churcill off the obverse.

 

I kind of like the look of them but they are going to look even worse with milk spots on them I think.
- edit - they also need to get rid of the old queen image and put kate on there. Im just sayin...

 

Oh you devil you, Chris.

Those security markers add a bit of intrigue for me. I've got to get one now and see what it looks like in hand. It would be my first for foreign bullion.

 

Who designed it, Timothy Leary?

 

First for foreign bullion? Come on, widen your horizons a little Ken. There is a whole wide world out there. Stop being a homer.

Besides, Canada is not really foreign anyway. Even on a drunken bet you can drive to Canada. Its like the 51st state, but with more entertaining politicians.

 

You saw Lewis Black too I see...........

 

Was this the face that launched a thousand ships?

[yeah, I know it wasn't Homer who said it but he wrote the book ]

 

Speaking of faces, isn't Mum 87?

 

Lol, yeah I love that guy.

Home(r), like Harry Carey with the cubs, or the local announcers trying to sound like the Vikings aren't one of the most pathetic teams in the NFL.

Btw, I do hope my Canadian friends here know i am speaking tongue in cheek.

 

Yup. Tick Tock Tick Tock.
God I hope it won't be Camelia on the new ones... lol

 

She still got her teeth?

 

yup...

 

The horse would be better IMO

 

Which end?
