<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeffC, post: 4981201, member: 90913&quot;]This is my only scary coin, a 2015 Canadian 25-cent piece.&nbsp; It&#039;s part of the Canadian Royal Mint&#039;s &quot;Haunted Canada&quot; series.&nbsp; Through Lenticular technology, the Mint creates a changing image depending on the viewing angle.&nbsp; You&#039;ll see the head of the brakeman disappear, leaving only two piercing eyes, as the lantern glows.&nbsp; You can&#039;t see this effect in my photo of course, but you can experience it via the mint&#039;s official link below.&nbsp; (Sorry I don&#039;t have the obverse, but it&#039;s just an effigy of the Queen.&nbsp; Too lazy to find the coin now so I just took the photo from my facebook page.)</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.mint.ca/store/coins/haunted-canada-brakeman-2015-prod2500025?fbclid=IwAR1gP3pd2VSNejMDhzs5O2R-JZQSrpTs8cQgBBMb2REj2FJj0n2gcrGzqhE" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.mint.ca/store/coins/haunted-canada-brakeman-2015-prod2500025?fbclid=IwAR1gP3pd2VSNejMDhzs5O2R-JZQSrpTs8cQgBBMb2REj2FJj0n2gcrGzqhE" rel="nofollow">https://www.mint.ca/store/coins/haunted-canada-brakeman-2015-prod2500025?fbclid=IwAR1gP3pd2VSNejMDhzs5O2R-JZQSrpTs8cQgBBMb2REj2FJj0n2gcrGzqhE</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The story behind the coin:&nbsp; In Vancouver, Canada, there&#039;s a place called Gastown, reputed to be one of the world&#039;s most haunted neighborhoods.&nbsp; At one of the train stations there, Waterfront Station, security guards have reported seeing a headless figure, believed to be the ghost of a brakeman who was decapitated by a train in 1928. On some nights - when the moon is full and the fog creeps eerily - you might see him roaming the tracks, holding a glowing lantern, searching for his head!&nbsp; He has a cousin who does nearly the same thing in Sleepy Hollow.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1196710[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
