<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3164970, member: 66"]Kurt gave you the answer. The Canadian coins were of lower silver fineness than ours so it took longer before the metal value exceeded the face value. Then Canada tried to buy some time by reducing the fineness even more rather than giving up silver completely. That gave them another year or so, but they finally had to surrender and give up silver in the circulation coins too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
