Canadian Commemorative Quarters: A Complete History!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2020
- Since 1967, Canada has produced Commemorative Quarters, but in recent years they have been producing them fast and furious, with as many as 12 new designs every year!
This video attempts to showcase all the commemorative quarters produced into circulation to date, plus their coloured variants and errors. Not only is it a walk down memory lane, but I try to bring in some history and context to each commemorative issue. I try to add some humour to it all as well.
If you are interested in a particular year or issue, I will add timestamps below for each clip.

The Royal Canadian Mint are definitely world famous for their superb quality and workmanship. Their bullion coins are sought-after all over the world, and colourful pocket change is a novelty and a collectors dream.🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦
Thanks for the great information! 🇨🇦🤠🦫 New friend from Alberta Canada!
I really enjoy your humor and the history about our coins. I'm a new subscriber and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Cheers/.
The video inspired me to collect all the Commemorative Quarters. I picked up my first rolls today and already have a good start. Thanks for video.
I've learned a lot from this video! Thank you! Cheers from North York -ON!
Glad it was helpful!
Outstanding video...Very informative and complete....Nicely done bud (Cant believe I missed this one!)
Thank you for this
I hope your from toronto. I would love your help on putting my collection together.
In the U.S. we have also read the poem In Flander's Field at every Memorial Day service. Powerful and touching poem.
Very good job, thanks.
I travel from Detroit to Windsor every now and then and I always collect coins left over from my travels. I have at least two of these commemorative quarters, and a few rare loonies and toonies.
Great video very informative.
very informative.. I subscribed in hopes you have detailed videos on other coins too!
Really enjoyed this definitely easier than leafing thru books every time now I can just use this video thanks.
That's awesome! Certainly hoped it could service as a reference resource. I hope anyone looking through their change can find it helpful and also Canadian and US coin roll hunters who are finding Commemorative Canadian coins in their rolls.
Very informative I have to share this...And subscribe!.
Great video I started collecting pocket change with the 1967 quarter and dollar I love finding one in pocket change You re right the 2015 poppy is my favorite too but the breast cancer quarter is a close second
You missed the 2006 pink ribbon and bravery coins, although you did show them at the very end in summary. Also, the 1999 caribou and 2000 caribou were NIFC coins, so you will never find them in circulation unless somebody broke up a mint set.
Thank you for a very informative and useful video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice video! My first Canadian find roll hunting in the 70's was a '73 mounted bicentenial. I miss it as it was stolen, by a family member. Thanks for reminding me. I'll need to purchase another to replace it, Now, I'm thinking of a large bust LOL!
Thanks for the advice right now I’m sorting out my quarter collection but you did miss a few coins but it’s ok 👌
The battle of beaverdams took place near thorold ontario on beaverdams road... I drove past it a few times been planing on metal detection down there tho
great video learned alot
I have some of these. For the 1812 I have a colored Brock and Frosted Secord. I actually like the frosted look more, as in the U.S., it is usually only seen on proof coins, so it just impressed me more.
Lol Santa's sleigh is pulled by reindeer not caribou. Love ur channel.
I think the Cindy Klassen coin is the only Canadian coin where a woman has had her first and last name on it. Not even Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor has had that honor.
That is an interesting piece of trivia for sure!
I forgot about all these coins frig yeah now I go hunt For all them
THIS REALLY HELPED ME ON HOW TO PUT MY QUARTERS IN ORDER, YEARS, AND SETS. THANKS 😊 CROWS COINS. CANADA.
i have a color double maple leaf quarter ( 1 yellow 1 red maple leaf) but can't seem it find it anywhere to see what it may be valued at any ideas where i would find it
Sorry, I am not aware of any quarter with that description. Perhaps you could post a picture? There are people who do aftermarket painting on coins.
My grandma has a lot of old coins
I have all those coins
I have all these besides the yellow moon an buffalo.one and the Canadian flag one I have the men's hockey masculin and all the little 1812 in the maple leaf I've got that guy than an other guy the lord Secord one
I've got the yellow one, my fav new coin is the glow in the dark toonie
The olympic set is just aweful imho
I have a question about my money I have saved up in question I' have a 5dollar coins
We Americans still won. Our flag was still there.
Oh say can you see, by the dawns early light, oh so proudly we hailed, at the twighlights last gleaming, whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight. Over the ramparts we we watched at the twilights last gleaming. And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave truth through the night, that our flag was still there, Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave, over the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Is that the new Kesha song
this was useful 🍺
the large poppy is first choice too👍
