Glowing dinosaurs


When a country issues coins with dinosaurs on them, it's a sign that they're not taking their currency seriously.

When a country issues coins with glow in the dark dinosaurs, they're one step away from making chocolate coins legal tender.

    Canada, huh? I'll have to go look for it on the map (bein' a ignert Amurrican and all that). But in this case, I think they might have just crossed the line into awesome.

    The last time I saw anything like this, it arrived in a box of corn flakes. Courtesy of one or the other of the "Jurassic Park" movies, IIRC.

    Never having been a stamp or coin collector, I've never seen the point of paying $29.95 (U.S. or Canadian) for something I'd expect to find in the bottom of a box of Cracker Jacks(TM).

    cheers

    Goes well with the Corvette coin with the light up headlights or the 911 memorial coin with the stand up buildings.

    A coin show would be an interesting thing to visit in a century or so.
