<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1276110, member: 26302&quot;]Like others have noted, the denomination is put their for taxes reasons somewhat. The real reason is collectors. Many collectors simply only buy and collect &quot;coins&quot;, and not medals. Without a denomination a ASE is a medal and not a coin. The denomination could be 1 cent and it would still satisfy this criteria. I doubt governments are likely to do this. Why? Could they increase prices? Unlikely. Its only downside in their eyes, not any opportunity.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the Canadians not redeeming $5 they can do what they like I suppose, its their country, but if challenged I believe they would be found violating international law by not honoring they own coinage. But, practically, nothing we can do about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
