2018 Canada $5 Lucky Dragon and the 1949 Canada $1 Commemorative Dollar

Thanks for supporting me since the beginning @ssg-community

The RCM loves Asian dragons.
Canada has a significant sized Chinese community largely centered in Vancouver and Toronto that were multi generational descendants from those that came in the 1800s to live the dream as immigrant workers. The Canadian National Railroad was built to the Independent colony with the labor of these sojourners to complete the deal by 1871 for the new Province of British Columbia to enter the Confederation of Canada.

And he got it from his great Grandfather who was rumored to have hoarded silver coin rather than keeping it at the local banks. Those banks went under and he did well. His little Diner, grocery shop, one billiard table hall thrived while most of the town suffered from a devastated economy. It's a long story with missing gaps.

Thank you for the service again, @hivebuzz

Before WW2, Newfoundland carried on as a distinct country of it's own until after with it's own silver and gold money. I have a few Newfoundland coins that were owned by my Father that I have yet to share.
The RCM had definitely hired the right person as Chief Engraver leaving an amazing legacy behind.

Well then a Return in kind, !PIZZA

This coin is made beginning at 2017 to 2020 with the same design, I'm not sure if it went beyond 2020. There should be some floating around. Knowing you, it'd have to be a Proof MS-70 in a NGCS equivalent slabbed specimen and no less.

And I got a fairly terrible dental record to back up that claim that I had a voracious taste for chocolate. With my pancreas protesting lately, it will have to be much lower quantities or sugar free chocolate. 🍫🍬🍭

Thanks for commenting @tbnfl4sun

And I remember your Halloween handouts years ago when my little kids dropped by your place, "This is for you, and for you, and this is for your pirate Mom."
Thanks for loaning the notes @punkysdad and keeping my hands clean.

They must have though they've discovered 'Buried Treasure' then spent the windfall before the pirates came back for their booty! I try to keep my kid's up to speed to what I am accumulating. Their eyes sometimes glaze over as say, "That's nice."
The banknote does put a better face on how King George VI looks like that what the coin can portray.

It goes to show how distinct the Physical market is different from the Paper market. A YouTube silver channel, Goldsilver Pros tried to document their attempt to 'follow-the-silver' from the COMEX, they made an account, placed their order, stood for delivery, order gets cancelled for X reason, X rectified, Repeat order, Stood for delivery, Order cancelled for Y Reason, Y recitifed, repeat order, order cancelled for Z reason. So on and so on, etc.
They finally bought their COMEX bar but still cannot take physical possession of it at the warehouse. Goldsilver Pros only had legal ownership of the said COMEX Bar!
I bet the COMEX is charging storage fees in some fine print.
So there's our Supply chain issue.

I buy and accumulate silver and gold coins as my long termed savings as opposed to fiat currency of my country as the currency is subject to high inflation and it is getting worse at this time as I predicted years ago.
Those silver coins that are denominated in $CAD are Legal Tender but the old 1949 silver coin is tradable as barter for it's collectable and silver/gold content commodity value.
The value of the commodity begins to play the role as money when the fiat currency hyper-inflates becoming worthless. And, I have traded silver for goods before as a trial run. Not many retailers have considered this as a payment option yet but when the economy goes bad there will be a need for money everyone can trust.
I have a few hundred old silver dimes and quarters for Emergency commerce, if it does not happen as bad, I can pass it on to my kids to safe guard their future.

I could kick myself for not getting a roll of these 2018 Lucky Dragons, I've got only two, one for each of my sons.
There's a link to the Website that sells the Pirate hanky, subject to available stock.

Thanks for being a part of the crew @urun ☠️

Most of these Canadian Silver $1 coins were passed on to me by my Father, the 1949 coin I just love for the ship design. Of the four 1949 coins in my possession, 2 including this Uncirculated one was from his estate, and the other two I've added to my Stack and would love to get more of them. I will be headed out to an LCS out of town to hopefully pick up another plus whatever Numismatic gems that tickle my taste.
I've considered it as my YouTube avatar coin but I believe everyone would mistake me as a 'Newfie'.

Looking forward to see what you got @bitcoinman

Canada decided to stop coining currency in silver and switch to pure fiat using nickel after 1967, some 1968 50% silver 10 cents and 25 cents being the exception. The US did the same after 1964 with exception to halves up to 1970. In fact all countries de-silvered their coinage in the late 60s. Coincidence? I don't think so. Coordinated? Yes. Setting the stage for revoking the Bretton Woods a few years later. Just don't get me started on the huge profits the government makes in Seniorage.

The 1968 Nickel metal Voyager dollar is the first year until it ended in 1986 when the much smaller bronze Loon Dollar came in 1987.
The Nickel Voyager, right, is 2mm smaller in diameter also a little thinner than the silver Voyager on the left. Silver coins have a distinct ring when struck with another coin.
