- Here's something we haven't done before on the channel - hunt a box of Canadian Loonies! Loonies are the $1 coin that replaced Canadian $1 banknotes way back in 1987. We've got a $1000 box of loonies to look through to see if we can find any gems! Maybe even a colourized Loonie? Who knows!!

As an American coin collector/roll hunter this was very cool and interesting to watch. Had no idea there were so many versions of Canadian coins or that there was even a silver recovery program for coins in Canada. Every time i find silver Dimes Quarters or half dollars in circulation I hold onto them haha. Love the video... very cool!
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed a peek at Canadian coins. Our circulating colourized coins are somewhat unique - most prevalent in quarters.
Once again. I have coin envy. Fun to see the Loonie hunt. I just started collecting them recently.
Prior to this, I'd just hunted a handful of rolls - fun to look at a whole bunch at once!
Very interesting video. Thanks for your excellent work!
Many thanks! I appreciate it!
Congrats on your finds. Learned a lot. Loved the deer dollar coin. Wishing you a great day
Thanks so much, @Dad! Good luck in the draw!
Very interesting James! Canadian CRH-videos aren't super common on CZcams in general, but Looney hunts seem to be rarer still. And I thought it was funny how you enjoyed finding that US dollar, because many US collectors don't seem to like them.
Isn't that how it is - a foreign coin is often more interesting and more valued by the collector, even if they're common (or even reviled!) in their home country. I'm guessing few coin roll hunters are keen on tying up $1000 all at once for a hunt?
Sweet collection of Loonies! Build your album up, with the only the best. Another nice hunt James!
It's going to take many boxes, I think, to get that album up to where I want it!
That was a really cool hunt, I've never seen a $1000.00 looney hunt before. Congrats on your finds..
Thanks - I'll be doing more, for sure! Still have to find some colour!
Lol I just realised what CAD standed for😆 😅 😂
Yes, it's just an international standard convention for indicating the Canadian Dollar. The country code for Canada is "CA" and the "D" stands for Dollar. Hence, "CAD."
@@CADRollHunter lol me dumb dumb 🤣
Great finds!
Thanks, Pelin!
Interesting hunt. Beautiful coinage!!
Thanks for tuning in, @Walker Magnet!
I didn't realize Canada has so many commemoratives.On our Presidential dollar coins there are varieties on the edge lettering in 2007.There are missing edge lettering and upside down lettering.Thank you for another great video.I always enjoy your videos.
I appreciate you watching, Kevin! Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying my videos.
@@CADRollHunter Thanks for making the videos.I've learned more about your countries coins from you than else where.
Thanks, Kevin. I'm always learning. And I'm happy to share what I've learned along the way.
It was a good hunt. Good to know the ARP isn't pulling these out. I heard that the actual lucky loonie was buried at center ice by the guys making the ice.
Jeff - yes, apparently the ice-makers were Canadian, and they snuck that loonie in there for luck!
Great hunt 👊🏽💥❤️🔥
Thanks for watching!!
Neat video.
Thanks so much for watching - I appreciate it!
Nice hunt
Thanks so much!
I’m so proud to be Canadian!!
I really appreciate all the Canadian history and general Canadian information you provide in your videos! Your delivery and speaking voice is excellent as is your editing. Your video on how to start collecting was also great. I hope your channel reaches a larger and larger audience!
Chris - I really appreciate the kind words - thanks so much. I just enjoy the history that's part of our our coinage, as well as sharing as I learn. Thanks!
Love the Loonie hunt. Americans avoid those dollar coins. I get strange looks when I use them.
Yes, it's very strange. Canadians have embraced both the $1 and $2 coins.
Those are some awesome hunts there, eh. Luckily, I bought a 1995 UN Peacekeeping Memorial Loonie at my local coin shop for around PHP80 (approx. $1.50), plus in good condition with some slight luster and gunk on it. Man, I would really want to find some more Canadian coins on my coin shop soon.
Again, those are some awesome hunts.
Thanks so much, Gilbert! I think as long as your coin shop knows you are interested in Canadian coins, they might take them in if offered. Some shops find it very hard to move foreign coins, if there's not a lot of demand.
@@CADRollHunter well, truth to be told, it wasn't much of a coin shop, but they actually have a bunch of world coins ranging from the US, Britain, Euros, Japan and even the Middle East. The coin shop I often visit is mostly in fact a jewelry repair shop, but they do sell them foreign coins. And to be honest, I would buy foreign coins from fellow coin collectors/sellers on Facebook, mostly in my country. I would ask anyone if they have either US or Canadian coins - clad or silver - at a lower price.
I did not know that Canada still used coins
For sure. Probably not as much as we used to, what with the proliferation of debit and credit cards, but we still use cash!
I have all of them
I have a couple 1982
Be on the lookout for those pesky counterfeits!
Oops, I think that's with the toonies!
Definitely the toonies - but now you've got me thinking I'll have to look twice!!
What is the colorized part supposed to be on the klondike loonie? It looks like a mutant scorpion rather than a moose.
Quoting the Mint: "A powerful symbol of cultural revitalization, the pictorial symbol for Ëdhä Dädhëchą (Moosehide Slide) is highlighted in red and white on selectively coloured coins; it appears on the opposite side of the creek, and represents the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and their deep, abiding connection to the land."
Are we the only ones in the Commonwealth (other than the UK) still using "Dei Gratia Regina" on our coinage? I have a few coins from NZ, Australia, and Belize, and none of them have that on there!
Now that you mention it, I think we might be the only ones left to use that phrase on our modern coinage.
Where you get these coins?
From the bank - just ask for them.
Hello just discovered your channel, fellow canadian here. I’m looking to get into coin roll hunting so can I just go to my local RBC and ask for rolls of whatever denomination? Thanks!
That's it - ask for as many rolls as you want. They won't always have what you ask for, or might be reserving some for their business customers, but it's worth trying!
@@CADRollHunter Thanks!
@@CADRollHunter One more question, i’ve purchased some rolls and after i’m done going through them and go to return them and then purchase more coin rolls, is there something i should say to the teller to ensure i don’t just get the same coin rolls i’ve already picked through and returned?
@@slavi98 If you want to be sure that you don't get the same rolls again, take them to another bank (not just another branch, but a different bank altogether).
@@CADRollHunter Cheers! There’s a cibc right across the street from the rbc I went to so sounds like the perfect solution.
Where do I go for prices of the Canadian loonies
The Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian coins is my go-to resource. You can also find info online at coinsandcanada.com
This literally just came to me now, why is the Terry Fox coin a loonie and not a toonie?! That would have made way more sense... Toonie for Terry..
Great question! Who knows!
How can I obtain these coins, I'm in NY
I think the easiest thing to do would be to just drive across the border! You can get them anywhere!
where do you order your coins from?
I just go to the bank and ask for them.
@@CADRollHunter nice. I deal with TD and will grab some next time I am there. Thanks for the quick reply.
You say that every single machine wrapped roll does not have any silver as they might be taken out of circulation, Do you want know the funny bit, I actually got a silver 1956 dime in a machine wrap roll
Machine wrapped rolls are very likely to be ARP rolls, particularly in my area. But not all of them. Some businesses that deal with a lot of coins (transit, laundromats, etc.) have their own rolling machines, and they could have silver. That might be what you found. Very cool!
Nice
Hope you enjoyed the Canadian $1 hunt!
where are u buying all our coin??
At my local banks.
@@CADRollHunter k thx
i hope i can win the giveaway but I don't loonies hear
Thanks for watching, Noah - I appreciate it!
@@CADRollHunter thanks
@@THENOAHMOU123 sorry you don't have a big collection Noah hope you can get more and win the giveaway
@@user-id5vi2iz7d thanjks
Let me just say the RCM has great imagination when it comes to designing their coins. Down here in the states with the exception of the quarters the rest of the coins are the same...BORING!!!
True enough. We have commemoratives in every denomination. It definitely makes the coinage interesting.
