[QUOTE="klein, post: 984963, member: 23950"] On this day in 1812 (18th of June) 200 years ago, the USA declared war against Britain, and entered Canada. To honour our great defense these items are now being released : Canada Post stamp : [IMG]http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSvFmBFPRSSHxjVhK6CN5KTrHZFx-VwTtgGwFpNCO3jyzB7x8Ch[/IMG] and a toonie .

A better pic of it, reads war of 1812 on it, and was actually just released today on it's 200th anniversary. The 999.99 silver proof is already sold out (only 20.000 were minted), but regular commemorative coins should be plentyful.

They actually change in all different colours as you turn the coin a bit. Another security messure we have. Not only on limited edition coins, but all new ones. [/QUOTE]
