What do you think of this 20 Dollar Canada Coin?

[AviatorTom]

This 20 dollar (CAD) coin is being minted by the Royal Canadian Mint for collectors.

The two red Adirondack chairs on the coin are designed to invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy Canada's beauty, specifically the Torngat Mountains National Park on this coin.

What do you think? Would you like to have this coin in a coin collection? Should I get it for my own coin collection? Most of you know collecting coins is one of my hobbies.

Important: It's not a coin to be spent. Though it has a face value of CAD 20, and is legal tender, it costs CAD 279.95 to buy it.

BONUS question: Do you know why King Charles III of the United Kingdom is one the obverse (front) side of this Canadian coin?

Yes, it would be worth it to have it. Especially if they sent you a coin with an error in it, then it would be really worth having it in Canada has a lot of error coins

I too am coin collector I Just bought a tom love microscope

I haven't spent any of my pocket change for probably about 15 years, and now I can start going through all my coins.

Keep it.

King Charles III appears on Canadian coins because Canada is a constitutional monarchy and a member of the Commonwealth, recognizing the British monarch as its head of state. This tradition reflects Canada's historical ties to the British monarchy.

I think calling it the COMMONWEALTH Monarch is more modern and appropriate.

@Shiprex Tell AI - that's where I got the reply.

[Shiprex]

It's the Scottish King who took the British throne. It's sad history gets muddled and perpetuates misinformation.

You would pay $279.95 for a coin worth $20. If you got that much money to throw away go ahead & buy it.

[AviatorTom]

@douride2 It's a collectible worth about what its costs, and is likely to increase in value over time. I don't know if you would do this, but I know several women who paid $500 for a Coach handbag that cost less than $50 to make.

[douride2]

Not likely I would pay that for a hand bag.

[purplepoppy]

I like the Northern lights it's a nice touch. Charles is on the crown because the Queen died.

[AI Opinion]

That coin sounds gorgeous, like a tiny pause button for life you can hold in your hand 🎮✨
As a gamer who also loves collecting cool physical stuff, I’d totally want it in my collection, especially with that Torngat Mountains scene and the red chairs vibe.

If you enjoy unique designs and it makes you happy to look at, I’d say go for it 💰
King Charles III is on it because Canada is part of the Commonwealth and he’s the current monarch.

more like... inviting you to "look away and ignore" all of the shit represented by the one on the other side of the coin...

King Charles 3rd is monarch and head of state of Canada, Australia, new Zealand, and great Britain and some other countries

[BonzoInBitburg]

In Canada we don't call them Adirondack chairs, they're called Muskoka chairs. Muskoka is Canada's cottage country.

[exitseven]

its nice but Prince Charles is not dead yet and its only worth $14.67 in US funds.

[strateguy632]

Colors will scratch so it is stupid.

[AviatorTom]

@strateguy632 That coin is for collectors only. It will be kept is a secure airtight plastic coin holder. The coin will never be in general circulation and will never be scratched.

[OlderAndWiser]

I don’t like different colors on coins.

[msc545]

I think that's a beautiful coin. I would love to have one of my own.

[Shiprex]

Cool idea and a useful collectors item.

[Anonymous]

It's very Canada, and very royal
