<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 260888, member: 6449&quot;]So what exactly does &quot;plasma effect&quot; mean?&nbsp; According to Wikipedia it is an optical illusion created by digital manipulation of images (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_effect" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_effect" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_effect</a>).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to <a href="http://www.canada-digital.com/NewsArticle.aspx?articleid=1032" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.canada-digital.com/NewsArticle.aspx?articleid=1032" rel="nofollow">an article</a> on CanadaDigital, the color of the new Canadian coins is </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;achieved through a unique, leading edge plasma effect. The RCM is the first Mint in the world to produce this jewel-like finish on a coin, by virtue of a proprietary coating which can produce different colors by varying its thickness. The blue effect was chosen to evoke the cold climate of both poles. &quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I still don&#039;t understand what this has to do with plasma, the plasma effect or how the effect is achieved, if indeed it has been made public.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyone here know?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
