Hey, I'm not a lumberjack or a fur trader. I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber or own a dog sled. I watch TV too much. I buy what beer ads tell me to even though the microbrews taste better and don't give me gunky headaches. I am Canadian. |

William Shatner To Be Minted Like No Man Has Been Minted Before | | | Canada's new five dollar coin features world-famous Canadian actor William Shatner. | | THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT-- Canada is ready to phase-in the country's first five-dollar circulation coin. Gaining approval and royal ascent for the proclamation authorizing the issue and prescribing the composition, dimensions, and design of the new coin has been a long trek, but with Canada's continuing mission to reduce the amount of paper money in circulation, a five-dollar coin was the next step. To coin a phrase, "It was only logical." The new 9.2-gram Canadian coin features an effigy of William Shatner, national hero and star of film and television. The Ministry of Public Works and Government Services has been committed to replacing paper money with coins. Millions of dollars in printing costs will be saved with the five-dollar coin, although the initial minting of $600 million worth of coins is expected to be snatched up by collectors at warp speed. |
