This should be in high demand with international collectors wanting them.

The Canadian Mint continually churns out high quality special editions. Their Prehistoric Glow-in-the-dark coins are beautiful.

Thanks for pointing this out. I think I'll pick up a couple for my son, who will appreciate them when he's older.

I bought those for my dad who is a big coin collector, kind of hoping he will leave them to me.

Cool, have to pick up a couple for the kids, my uncle worked on III here in Calgary(he did the stunt props) and I got to meet a couple of the actors, Annette O'Tool(OMG was she hot back then...holy rack!) Richard Pryer, a few now nobodys and Robert Vaughn (who I had to play shoufer because he drank as much as my uncle)

Never got to meet Chris Reeve as he didn't hang out off set...bummer. Would have been cool to meet him.

They should have had a version of the time superman was represented by a Canadian.

I just spent the last two hours looking at coins and debating if I should purchase the superman hologram coin because of this thread. My final answer is no. hahaha.

Most if these coins should be able to be purchased up from your local post office.

That way, you don't necessarily have to order them without a chance to have seen them in hand.

Coins can become addicting... I started with the RCM's $20 for $20 series and now I'm a masters club member.

Give it up Canadian Mint. Superman has nothing to do with Canada, no matter where Joe Shuster was born. Why not make a War of the Worlds coin while you're at it? Or something to commemorate Palm Springs?

Sigh.

They're doing it because it is the 75th anniversary, not anything "Canadian"? Does everything the mint does have to be "Canadian"?

It's not like we have the monopoly on glow in the dark dinosaurs either.

Why would they give it up? It's a revenue generator. One coin is almost sold out, and the others will probably follow suit.

When the Royal Canadian Mint issues their Stampede collectible, I'll buy you one.

(Not a pricey one, though)

The creators of Superman were Canadian.
