2024 Air Force Toonie Coin

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

New Air Force toonie is in banks now. 😉

The design is simply excellent 

Really is. Likely to be very popular.

I haven't seen any in Newfoundland (let alone no King Charles coins), but considering there are a lot of outstanding Queen coins waiting to be distributed by banks, plus demand for coins having taken a steep drop in recent years, it comes as no surprise.  Plus, it seems as if demand for toonies have fallen for some years now in my province - more because its purchasing power became the $5 bill.  But now, it seems as if the number of toonies in circulation in my province (and possibly Atlantic Canada) have levelled off, otherwise I'd be seeing more new $5 bills by now.

After 2 months of searching this coin in my change, I finally found a colored Air Force toonie at Best Buy. Now just have to find the uncolored version of it.

I also noticed  the lack of colored coins in circulation, is it perhaps every collector is holding onto any colored coins they find coin roll hunting or getting it in their change? It’s like for me hitting the jackpot when you find one of those special coins in your change.

Went to the Mint coin exchange in at Canadian Coin and Currency in Richmond hill. 

First time I have seen the exchange north of the city and the artist was on site so had to take a very long lunch break.  My guess is because it was at lunch time the line very long.  The staff were efficient. 

For the Toonies both coins that they were giving out were colour.  Also bought the card set and had the artist sign the card.  Super happy.

That's a nice bonus for your collection!
