<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 651406, member: 13650&quot;]Hey guys.&nbsp; Hope you don&#039;t mind a stranger stopping by.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Are there any Canadians here that would like to share some knowledge with me?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;When I was into coin collecting as a kid, somebody gave me a Loon dollar.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know where it came from, who gave it to me or where it is now.&nbsp; It&#039;s long gone.&nbsp;&nbsp; I barely remember it but I remember I really liked it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; So I just bought a BU one for the fun of it.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen and heard Loons out on the lakes in northern Minnesota.&nbsp; I always thought they were really cool birds and it made for a neat design on a coin.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Anyway, so far I&#039;ve found out that 1987 was the first year for them.&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s the one I bought.&nbsp;&nbsp; How long did that style last for??&nbsp; &nbsp; And what were the series of dollars you guys used from say 1850 up to 1987?&nbsp; &nbsp; What were the metal contents of them?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; And what&#039;s happened after the Loon dollar series up to now?&nbsp;&nbsp; We barely get any news or info about Canada in the U.S.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t even know what Canada&#039;s circulating coinage looks like right now.&nbsp; And I&#039;m a collector.&nbsp; Pretty sad.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;Well, thanks for any help/pics, etc...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
