<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 70253, member: 1824&quot;]&#039;W&#039; is indeed the mintmark of the Royal Canadian Mint at Winnipeg.The &#039;P&#039; on a Canadian coin is not a mintmark.It is a mark indicating that the coin is made of a plated metal.I have got 2 Canadian 2001 5c. coins.The one without the &#039;P&#039; is the cupro-nickel one,whereas,the one with the &#039;P&#039; is the nickel-plated steel one,which is why it is so shiny.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the Ottawa branch of the Royal Canadian Mint,it is used only</p><p>for striking the silver &amp; gold Maple Leaf bullion coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
