<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 376999, member: 4552&quot;]Yesterday a friend showed me two coins that jammed up a vending machine where he worked and asked me if I thought they were fakes or what. Obviously they were Canadian since they both said Canada on them. They were a Dime and a Quarter and both appeared as if they were proofs due to the shine. Quarter was 2003 and Dime was 2004. First Canadian Coins I&#039;ve seen since they were supposed to have been changed to Steel. I produce a magnet and both jumped to the magnet. I&#039;ve heard that Canada has gone to Steel but assumed they would be using a high grade Stainless Steel that is non magnetic but obviously I&#039;m wrong there. They don&#039;t appear to be coated so must be of a Stainless type that will not rust, maybe. He gave them to me for nothing. If our Mint starts producing such coins there will be a lot of machines jammed up it appears.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
