The Vancouver Sun:
The image of a dinosaur whose remains were discovered in Alberta’s Peace Country will be featured on our newest quarter — the first Canadian coin with a glow-in-the dark picture.
The quarter, being released by the Royal Canadian Mint April 16, features Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai, a large herbivore whose bone fragments were discovered by Grande Prairie, Alta., science teacher Al Lakusta in 1974.
It’s a glow in the dark 25 cent piece that costs $30. Silly Canadians.
But you must admit, much cleverer than continuing with 1c pieces that cost more than 1c to make.
And here I thought they were moving in the right direction with the getting rid of the penny.
Silly Canadians indeed.
Looks like they are trying to make their money back…
I’d take a real dinosaur over a vestigial Queen or a fictional deity any day.
What did you think we were going to do with the money we saved from ditching the penny?
