It’s worth about thirty six real dollars so I bought a couple pizzas with it.
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

The Canadian Mint makes all is their commemorative coins and such with a denomination. For example this $2500 denomination gold coin. https://www.mint.ca/en/shop/coins/2026/the-jack-pine-by-tom-thomson-1-kilo-pure-gold-coin
So there are non-circulation coins of all sorts of is values. Mostly they are worth more than face value as collected items. But sometimes they are worth more as their face value or as scrap metal. I had some $20 Silver coins that I took great delight in spending as my friend got them for $16.
I think they do it so that they cannot legally be melted down for materials. As defacing currency is illegal. It also prevents them from droping in value to far as they have an intrinsically assigned worth.
*Edit I suspect it's also so that faking them is counted as currency counterfeiting instead of as year mark or copyright infringment
