Message:: [QUOTE="bhaugh, post: 1867567, member: 36379"]Thanks for that bit of information.  Although unsolicited, you do bring up a good point about the connection these prehistoric creatures have with Canada (at least for the most part).  That being said, if you are looking for significant prehistoric developments in Canada, I think there is room to include Albertosaurus or Edmontosaurus.  I am just a little perplexed by their choices. If indeed they were seeking to stay within connection to Canada, then why choose what they chose when something that looks a lot like a T-Rex has a much tighter connection.  In regards to my comment about "Main Stream Dinosaurs" I am operating on the assuption that the purpose of these coins is ultimately to make money.  You can say all you want about "continuing education" and promoting learning, but if it didn't make dollars they wouldn't make cents...  I grew up loving dinosaurs, and the coins are cool, but I think they would stand to make a lot more money if they slapped a T-Rex on a glow in the dark coin (and yes, the T-Rex and family members have been found in Canada).  That is why I commented about the fact that if the coin series is indeed going to continue, I believe they will need to look for some fresh material to bring people in.  Which brings me back to the original question...  Will the series would end at 4 coins, or will it continue beyond the original run?[/QUOTE]
