Canadian Coin News "Canadian Coin News is Canada's premier source of information about coins, notes and medals. It has been around for more than 40 years and in that time it has become the definitive source for information about coin collecting and numismatics from a Canadian perspective. " "Although we cover the entire world of numismatics, the majority of our readers are Canadian, and we concentrate on the unique circumstances surrounding collecting in our native land. Our editorial pages include information on new and old issues, as well as commentary, investment tips and Canada's most up-to-date listings of Canadian coin and paper money prices..."

The chapters titled "PCGS Grading Standards" and "Elements of a Coin’s Grade", show that there are distinct differences between the grading standards of Canada and those of the American grading services. The American services use five elements to determine the grade of a coin: Wear or Contact Marks (circulated or Mintstate); Strike; Lustre; Color and Toning; and Eye Appeal." "Canadian grading uses only the first three, preferring not to factor Toning and Eye Appeal into the grade. The Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins says: "Toning is not a grading factor — unlike popular belief, the toning that might be present on a coin and which might add considerably to the coin’s eye appeal is not to be considered one of the grading elements. Toning is an enhancing feature that might affect the coins (sic) final price but not its grade." According to Haxby and Willey’s Coins of Canada, "These toning features, while an integral part of a coin’s price, do not form part of its grade assignment." In Canada, the Eye Appeal of a coin is assessed separately and then used to determine the value of the piece."

It includes a relatively complete collection of the coins, tokens and of paper money that have been used or are now being used in Canada. The purpose of the collection is to portray the development of money through the ages with particular emphasis on the history of Canada's currency." "The Currency Museum displays a considerable portion of the collection in its eight galleries. Six galleries describe the development of money through the past 2,500 years, each gallery focussing on a different phase. Gallery seven displays special exhibits. Gallery eight is the Collector's Corner - the most comprehensive display of Canadian numismatic material in existence. The museum, which opened on December 5, 1980, is housed in the centre block of the Bank of Canada."
