Had you searched with the lights off it would have stood out more

Glow in the dark paper bills would be very handy. Just make the denominations glow a bit ....
Clever ideas, and I love the Dinosaur skeleton.
Nice work!!

Her Majesty does not glow in the dark. Yet another drawback to Monarchy.

Governments all over the world have way too much time on their hands... I could be wrong but I think the Canadian mint is required to turn a profit by selling presentation coins and doing work for other mints.

Speaking as a professional numismatist based in Britain, I have to say that Canada (and Australia) produce some the finest coins in the world. Ironically, these Commonwealth mints used to be branches of the Royal Mint, which now produces some of the shoddiest coins in the world, including the much-counterfeited £1 coin, which is so bad that even some of the fake ones look better than the genuine article...

It shows an artist's rendering of Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai, a 4-ton, 26-foot dinosaur discovered in Alberta in 1972 On the other side, a rendering of a 5-foot Elizabethus Windsaurus (not quite prehistoric)

Just as long as the glowing isn’t caused by radioactivity....

The jokes just write themselves.
One side shows a prehistoric dinosaur.
The other side has a glow-in-the-dark Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai.

I heard that the Mint employees were going to go on strike.
Apparently, they want to make less money.
Cheers,
