However, unlike Canadian circulation coins, collector coins are <b>non-circulating legal tender (NCLT)</b>. As such, these coins are not intended for daily commercial transactions and accepting them as payment or for redemption is at the discretion of businesses and financial institutions.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #77787B"><font face="Arial">The Mint has a process in place to reimburse financial institutions the face value of redeemed NCLT coins, once they have accepted them from a customer and returned them to the Mint. In the event a bank branch is unaware of this procedure, customers are advised to contact the Mint with the coordinates of the bank branch, which will take steps to inform the branch of the redemption process.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #77787B"><font face="Arial">As collector coins can only be redeemed at face value by businesses and financial institutions willing to accept them, it is recommended that individuals wishing to sell a collector coin first consult with a coin dealer, who is more likely to offer a price above face value.</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #77787B"><font face="Arial"><br /></font></span></p><p><span style="color: #77787B"><font face="Arial"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Verdana">Just like I said, businesses can accept them if they want, but they don&#039;t have to.&nbsp; If they do, the mint will reimburse them the face value of the coin.</font></span></font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
