Canadian Coins Go Cryptozoological

[redisforever]

AWESOME!!!! WOO! I love being Canadian. I'll buy all of them probably.

 

[pilf]

The cin nut inside me just went crazy, wish I had some disposable cash to waste on these.

 

[ScoopMeister]

I've gotta admit, that's pretty awesome. The most awesome coin I have is a 1986 £2 coin:

Spoiler

Yep. Pales in comparison, right?

the Jackalope

I don't mean to sound rude, but the jackalope is NOTa cryptid.

It's a long running joke/creature of folklore like the boogyman.

Cryptzoology studies creatures that have evidence for their exitence, but not scitenfically recognized due lack of direct credible first hand evidence.

Nobody ever found the boogyman, the jackalope, or a snipe.

The coelacanth, Opaki, gaint squid, and Hoan Kiem turtle were examples of ACTUAL now regonizied animals that used to be cryptids

I actually am insulted by this, cryptozoology has gotten more and more bad PR due to stuff like the Water Horse and The Secret saturdays.

It would be nice if you either removed the jackalope, or added info on the actual scientific impact the field has made.

Nice to see that we get some colour on our quarters finally. Sucks because the only colour before was the red poppy, which is depressing.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

... I haven't heard of those last two, well EVER. Why couldn't they do the Ogopogo from Lake Okanagan in BC?

Also this.

The Memphre is a actual cryptozoological beast, but the Mishepishu I have never heard off, and as far as I can tell, it's purely folklore.

I'm not canadian, and even I knew about the Ogopogo before I got into cryptozoology.

 

[One of Many]

I wouldn

Obviously you're not going to pick up a roll or two to blow at the laundromat, but as a collector's item, a cool birthday gift for the kids or just for something to wave in the faces of friends whose money is all green and boring, I think these things are about as cool as a coin is going to get.

Nothing cool about silver, I'd go for commemorative gold coins instead. Unless you really like the... design.

What are you talking about? Silver is awesome!

OT: Man, those are way cooler then the state quarters or the dollar coins with presidents on them.

...or a snipe....

Spoiler: Wait, dude are you sure?

Unless you meant something entirely different in which case I apologise, and move on swiftly.

OT: That's pretty sweet. The closest I have to that is a Golden Jubilee 5 pound coin which is kinda sucky.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Yay, go Canada! More for the collection, to go with my obsolete 1 and 2 dollar bills and 50 cent piece XD

 

[LostNumber]

Yeah, I don't know about dropping $25 on a quarter.

... I haven't heard of those last two, well EVER. Why couldn't they do the Ogopogo from Lake Okanagan in BC?

My first thought when I read the title was that there must be an Ogopogo one. I am disappoint.

We need to make a petition. I might actually think about getting one if they had the Ogopogo.

Aren't there pink breast cancer ribbon coins in circulation as well, not to mention a few olympic quarters with red maple leafs? I like to collect coins...

 

[angry_flashlight]

Canada, where even our coins have a sense of humour.

 

[Coldster]

Crazy Canadian money indeed. First plastic bills, and now this. Hell, I still have a 25 cent Canadian bill in my coin collection. Also, no Ogopogo? I am very disappointed.

Never heard of a snipe hunt?

I get it now. Still, they're real!

 

[Kellerb]

Dammit Canada! Why do you get to have all the fun?

*goes back to trying to exchange bottlecaps at my local bank*

We only take NCR dollars here. perhaps you would be more suited in freeside/ >_> <_<

 

[Chicago Ted]

... I haven't heard of those last two, well EVER. Why couldn't they do the Ogopogo from Lake Okanagan in BC?

Because that would require Eastern Canada acknowledging that the West actually exists.

Hold on a second here. You're telling me that there's even more Canada past the Ontario border? I thought everything after Toronto was just forested wastelands.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Looks hokey to me.
I'll wait until they're actually in circulation before believing it.
(I have a friend up in Canada, he can confirm this if it happens)

On the other hand, Canadian coinage is considerably more awesome than most classic American coinage.

 

[Ariseishirou]

No Ogopogo? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Ya, I know right? I just assumed that since the Sasquatch was in then Ogopogo should have been as well (they're both from Western Canada). Maybe then thats just it. They chose one cryptid from the west and decided to find some obscure Eastern one so it wouldn't look like they were giving us equal treatment. AWWW HELL NO.
