<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 1000612, member: 16269&quot;]This is the information in the Charlton Coin Guide (2009):</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The usual means of issuing coins was through the Bank Of Canada, but for this special coinage it was decided to make them available throught the Post Office as well, Consequently, 369,500 of the original mintage of nearly 1.4 million were issued directly to the Post Office. This mintage proved to be larger than public demand and between 1939 and 1945, 158,084 pieces were returned to the mint and melted.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>(A Charlton Standard Catalogue - &quot;Canadian Coins&quot; - 63rd Edition, 2009 W.K.
