2009 Canada Two-dollar, Polar Bear, Circulation

Beginning in 2006, the process used to produce the toonies included in occasional gift coin sets was very similar to that used for coins struck for circulation. With slower striking speeds and greater care in loading and unloading the press, these coins show fewer marks than regular business strikes.

Outer ring: 99+% Ni,

Inner core: 92% Cu, 6% Al and 2% Ni

Diameter: 28 mm

Weight: 7.3 g

Thickness: 1.80 mm

The coin in the pictures is a circulation issue in mint state condition.
