[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4222710, member: 77814"]Oddly, according to the Wikipedia for the Canadian Mint (Crown Corp, etc), Canada did produce US Coinage. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_countries_with_coinage_struck_at_the_Royal_Canadian_Mint[/URL] but in detail that is defined as "[B][I]the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Canadian_Mint']Royal Canadian Mint[/URL] has produced coinage and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planchet']planchets[/URL] for over 73 countries[/I][/B]" So what gives? I've found no info about Canada making official US coinage, but then I'm far from a Canadian coin expert. Canada first started making coinage in 1858, and we know the US was earlier than that. After all, Canada used to import all their coinage from UK until 1858. And the US Philadelphia MINT made Canadian 10cent coinage as recent as 1960, for Canada not the other way around. BUT, we do know the Canada often is part of the US's attempts at reviewing the coinage material and other options. So yes, Canada has provided the US with planchets, coinage strips etc for non-sensical materials tests. And we do know that Canada produced planchets, if, as mentioned, only for testing [ATTACH=full]1080843[/ATTACH] [URL]http://www.coinscan.com/for/usa.html[/URL] you just have to peruse the US Mints Alternative Metals documents to see all the Canadian mint example samples provided to the US Mint over the years. Here is one example of a Canadian planchet nonsense piece for a cent. Planchet Struck by the US Mint for coinage tests. [ATTACH=full]1080864[/ATTACH] But I cannot find any information on Canada producing an actual US coin for circulation. The 1936 / 1937 Canadian Cents are also well documented. but be careful. Even before the current Trade disputes with other countries the 1936 dot cent was WIDELY available without the "COPY" stamp on them, as seen here. [ATTACH=full]1080846[/ATTACH] So if you do not have one of the 3, 2 in private collections and the 3rd recently in the Canadian Museum, odds are then slim to none .. well "none" that someone has a 1936 dot cent unless it is a chinese fake.
