In 1851 Canada issued the 3 cent stamp. Like the U.S they were also used as currency. The 3 cent beaver stamp was the first animal stamp in the world. In 2001 Canada minted a commemorative coin to honor the 150th Anniversary of the event. This is a Proof coin of 5.39g of 0.925 Silver covered in 24-karat gold. It is 21.2mm in size. The set comes in a mint case with a commemorative stamp as well as a replica of the plate. Mintage is 90,000.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]408995[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]408996[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
