Message:: [QUOTE="BioEtOH, post: 1422050, member: 34475"]TH, I always respect your post but I don't value your post today. To me, by saying "it is really a shame to have the Queen coin in it" implies that you have no respect to other people works / designs. Another sentence from your post above saying "When is Canada going to realize the occupation is over", also implies that you don't value other people opinion on how they govern themselves. Just because continental Americans (or the people of the 13 original colonies) decided to separate themselves from The Royalty, it doesn't mean that other countries have to do the same like Americans did. Let them be happy with whatever the people of Canada or the people of the Commonwealth nations decide how they live.  On another note, you have to remember that the Royal Mint Canada (RCM) is a Royal corporation. It is is a for-profit Crown Corporation with a mandate to produce circulation  and non-circulation coins (for Canada and  other countries), manage the  domestic coinage system, and provide advice to the  Minister of Finance  on all matters related to coinage. It also extends to the  production  and marketing of bullion and related refinery products and services  for  profit. Legislation which  establishes the Mint is clear that the  corporation is to conduct its businesses "in anticipation of profit".  That fundamental object has shaped the history of the Mint - (quoted from the RCM site). Therefore it is different to the US Mint where its act depends on the Representatives sitting in the Congress. I hope you agree to disagree and I am looking forward to paying respect for your future posts without insulting anyone in anywhere or anyplace at anytime. Peace![/QUOTE]
