Got this today. Canadian 2004 25¢ I'm told it's the first (circulation) colored coin in the world. It's the first colored one I've seen, so I thought I'd keep it. But how did they do that? It doesn't match my understanding of the mint process.
Boy that it is a nice coin.As it is a Remembrance commemorative, it is the right time of year to mention about this coin,as it was Anzac Day on Monday,which is a public holiday here in New Zealand & in Aussie.So,we had a 3 day long weekend as a result. Aidan.
Many of them lost paint before they ever reached circulation due to the constant shifting in shipment. I know as I got a few that are a little on the disgusting side.
Well, that explains the lack of colored coins in circulation. They are painted by machine then, I assume?
Check out the Perth Mint Check out the Perth Mint in Australia They issue many coloured coins. I'm stubborn I don't like coloured coins. I don't think they are real I lik circulated coins and If my coins are going to be coloured - I prefer GOLD & SILVER
