Nous avons hâte d’accueillir d’autres visiteurs enthousiastes à notre boutique de Winnipeg le 14 décembre, pour une occasion unique de collectionner une pièce de circulation de chaque valeur nominale sur laquelle est gravée la nouvelle effigie royale.Ĭoin fanciers flock to mint for a 'little piece of history' - CBC News J’étais ravie de voir un si grand nombre de personnes se rendre à notre boutique d’Ottawa pour participer à notre échange de pièces afin d’obtenir les toutes premières pièces de circulation sur lesquelles figurent l’effigie de Sa Majesté le roi Charles III. We look forward to welcoming more enthusiastic guests to our Winnipeg boutique coin exchange on December 14 for a unique opportunity to collect one of each circulating denomination bearing our new royal effigy. It was a pleasure to see so many people turn out to our Ottawa coin exchange for a chance to collect the first circulation coins featuring the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III.

See the video for an illustration using the US quarter dollar coin. For example, the United States uses 'coin orientation', where the top of the designs on the observe and reserve of the coin are lined up opposite each other - this means that to turn the coin over while keeping it facing up, you need to turn it top-to-bottom. Sometimes even neighbouring countries can have coins with a different orientation.

See the video for an illustration using the Canadian quarter dollar coin. This means that to turn the coin over and keep it facing up, you need to turn it from one side to the other. Many coins, like those used in the UK and Canada, use 'medallic orientation' - this means that the top of the observe and the reserve of the coin line up. So did you know that different countries' coins have different orientations? They reminded me of Canadian coins - many of which feature iconic Canadian animals. I was really impressed with the flora and fauna theme, which pleasingly also bring backs thematic unity across all 8 denominations. These are 'definitive' designs, intended to become the standard design for every day sterling coinage. The new UK coin designs reminded me of a little-known feature of coins all over the world.Īs a trustee of The Royal Mint Museum I was delighted to see that The Royal Mint has announced a stunning new set of UK coins.
