The Royal Canadian Mint's produces Canada's circulation and collector coins and is one of the most respected and desirable minters in the world.
The worth of Canadian gold and silver coins varies based on several criteria.
Key factors to evaluate are:
- The coin's condition
- The minting year
- The original minting quantity and current availability
- A collector's coin that is rare and in excellent condition might fetch a price well above the intrinsic value of the gold or silver it contains.

Every coin minted by the Royal Canadian Mint is recognized as official currency and can be used to pay for products and services at their face value.
But it's important to distinguish between two types of legal tender:
Circulating Legal Tender, which refers to the everyday coins and banknotes you carry in your pocket or purse. These are the standard forms of money that all vendors must accept when they're used to settle a bill for products or services.
Collector's Coins (Non-Circulating) includes those unique or limited edition coins crafted by the RCM, tailored for collectors. While these coins hold legal currency status, businesses aren't obligated to accept them. They're at liberty to decline these forms of payment if they choose. Therefore, if you possess special pieces like the renowned $20 silver coin, you might encounter businesses that are hesitant to accept them, despite their status as legitimate currency.
