I've often wondered why an extremely ordinary coin of a type you've seen hundreds of times can suddenly seem like there is something wildly...
Thanks, desertgem. Much appreciated!
Okay, needing a little help here. Being just a rank amateur collector, I don't know what 'rpms' means, and it occurs to me that maybe I have been...

"the general public's resistance' says it all. When Canada dropped its paper $1 bill in favour of a $1 coin, the general public didn't get to...
Certainly does. The inscription "Province du Bas Canada" translates to 'Province of Lower Canada', which in the present day is the Province of...
