Why go to Ebay, when Canadian Mint has such a nice site [http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/dinosaur-25cent-coloured-glowinthedark-coin-2012-prod1290004] of its own? There you can buy the quarter for the low low price of $29.95 CAD.redneck_ant said:dude, I just checked Ebay and some people are asking 50 or more canadian dollars for each of those dino quarters o_0
What? Why can't it be normal-size like all our other special coins?Don Reba said:Definitely, one of my favourite episodes.
It is legal currency, but it is larger than a normal quarter, so it won't work in a vending machine.DuelLadyS said:So, is this dino coin legal currency, or just a comemmorative? Becuase I'm greatly amused by the idea of people spending glow in the dark dinosaurs.
Also- time to start hoarding the Canadian pennies that turn up in my change!
When you get there would you mind sending back a couple of dinosaur coins? And don't use Air Canada when you travel.217not237 said:That's it, I'm moving to Canada.
Sweet- I was hoping for an offical link. Time to let my inner numismatist out!

I had thought that the co-pilot was the one that was asleep. That he had been asleep for nearly twice as long as was generally allowed, and when he woke up he freaked out and made the plane dive to avoid what he had thought was the other plane. Though, you got everything else right. Unless, I am making this up or they updated the story since I read about it.Draconalis said:I heard about that, and to clarify:
It wasn't actually the pilot that dodged Venus, it was the Co-Pilot. The Pilot was asleep, (because they are allowed power naps due to how stressful their job is) and there was another plane coming at them... the other plane was just 800 feet below them. So the co-pilot was like "It's not 800 feet below us! It's coming right for us!" because he saw a very bright light ahead of him (see: Venus) and dove suddenly. The pilot woke up, and pulled the plane back up because his co-pilot is an idiot.
Incidentally, had the Pilot NOT pulled the plane up... they would have collided with the other plane.
I also heard about the murder free day as well
There's always the possability that they updated it since *I* heard about it. We'll never know...Saltyk said:I had thought that the co-pilot was the one that was asleep.

Look up information? On the internet? Who would do such a thing? Not I.Draconalis said:There's always the possability that they updated it since *I* heard about it.

"You could look it up..."
We'll never... ever... know...
The other coloured coins there are also too large. Some coins are not even round, such as this $15 one:Cain_Zeros said:What?

Wait, so it isn't replacing the Canadian quarter entirely? I was so ready to move. Think of all the savings in lost quarters that would suddenly be found!Don Reba said:Definitely, one of my favourite episodes.

ummm looking at Canadian money as a whole minus a dinosaur coin, Canadian money looks better than American money. and now that Canada is getting polymer monies, it will also last longer than American money.Hungry Donner said:I'm pretty opposed to posting in all caps, but I feel an exception is justified in this case.
CANADA, GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR DINO-QUARTERS!
US state quarters just seem so lame now.
you only use air Canada as a last resort!CleverCover said:When you get there would you mind sending back a couple of dinosaur coins? And don't use Air Canada when you travel.217not237 said:That's it, I'm moving to Canada.
