I saw that coin on display at the Canadian mint in Winnipeg about 7 or 8 yrs ago. There was a canvas web around the display area with a cop with a side arm on his belt.
The admission to the mint was Canadian $5 which then was $1 USA = 85 cents Canadian. I had no $5 Canadian notes so I gave them a $5 U S note, waited for some change,(didn't get any) and walked in. On a tour, the power went out all over the building and after 10 minutes, a loud speaker told the people to leave and their money would be refunded. At the refund register, I was handed a $5 Canadian note, in which I commented that I gave a $5 U S A note......I would like one back. The person refunding the money said that they weren't allowed to do that. (Anything for the buck) I took the $5 Canadian and left. Ah, such memories.....getting hosed (cheated) by a government entity, which is common.

And I see you are still bitter.

I'm bitter at all government entities.
Here is another reason, and this IS the truth !!!
I pay all of my income taxes and on time.........and I'm fined every year. It is wrong!!

The coins was on display at the ANA in Milwaukee in 2007. As a member I got in free. That was the same ANA where I purchased a Liberty dollar.
