The Royal Canadian Mint

The Royal Canadian Mint features some of the most uniquely designed coins available on the market today.

The current and historical references featured on the coin designs from the Royal Canadian Mint show the rich history of the great North American Country. From Canada's culturally rich society, to the great wildlife and natural wonders the country has to offer.

What truly makes the Royal Canadian Mints coins stand out is their appreciation for detail. Every coin is struck with such quality, such craftsmanship. They have acquired the "Pure Standard" and settle for nothing less. The "Pure Standard" meaning 99.99% Pure Silver, Gold and Platinum Products. A standard so valuable the Royal Mint among others have began to follow suit.

One of the finest things that stood out to me in their quest for quality, was the initiative to transition to "lean" practices. The term lean is typically synonymous with the car manufacturer Toyota, but it has quickly earned its place in all manufacturing operations for its values that center on creating better product, faster, and with less waste. Which in the end equates to a better product being sold for less to consumers.

We have two great examples of The Royal Canadian Mints quality and craftsmanship currently listed on sale.
