General Information:

This is a popular series for all serious collectors.

In 1987, the loonie was introduced, replacing the voyageur dollar with a new design, new colour and smaller size. This coin also replaced the $1.00 bill, which was subsequently withdrawn from circulation by the Bank of Canada.
