Syria has reavealed its new #banknotes, and the process of exchanging them for the old ones will begin on January 1, 2026.
The Syrian government has also decided to revalue its currency, removing two zeros.
I really like the 100 pound note, the colors are beautiful, I absolutely must have some !

Did you know that a Dodecahedron is a 12-letter name for any 12-sided shape. And did you also know that on this day in 1962, the Canadian Government decreed that our dodecahedron nickel was decadent and that round was right. Pre-1962 nickels are now pretty much worth a nickel, but a coin in "mint condition" has been known to fetch a few pennies more.
Have you noticed there are more coin buying events in your neighbourhoods over the past few years? Some of that activity is driven by buyers taking advantage of people wanting to sell old jewelry, collectibles, or jars of coins that are sitting in the back of drawers or closets. But the rise of digital transactions, particularly increased during COVID when no one wanted to touch your infected money, has increased the collectible value of coins and, in some cases, the actual metal value exceeds the face value.

On today’s date in 1962, the Government of Canada passed an order-in-council to change the shape of the country’s five-cent coin from 12-sided (or dodecagonal) to round. The 12-sided five-cent piece was introduced in 1942 to help Canadians distinguish the war-time bronze-coloured tombac coins from copper cents. Tombac, which was also used on British three-pence coins, was adopted to save […]

On June 30th, 1987, a Canadian one-dollar coin was introduced, produced by the Royal Canadian Mint at its facility in Winnipeg. The beloved #Loonie was born. But did you know the iconic Loon image wasn't meant to be the coin in production and only came to be because the original master dies were lost by a courier. We came close to embedding "Voyageurs" at centre ice during the Olympics.

Affectionately dubbed the “Loonie," Canada's one-dollar circulation coin has become a cherished national symbol since its 1987 debut. To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Canada’s golden-hued circulation coin, we revisit the story of the Voyageur design and explore the many commemorative designs that the Loonie has featured since its arrival.

April 15th, 1870, US silver coins were no longer accepted at par value in Canada. The Canadian government had announced early in 1870 this deadline and began exchanging U.S. silver at a discount. This action was part of a broader effort by the Canadian government to establish its own national coinage. A significant portion of the U.S coin collected was sent to Britain to be melted and converted to bullion.

OTD in 1871, the Uniform Currency Act and the Bank Act standardized dollars across Canada and established denominations. Today, this means we all don't sound like stereotypical British folk haggling at your local fish market. The passage of this Act also put an end to private banks issuing their own notes and injecting currency into the market on a whim. That, in turn, tightened credit, creating stability.

On this day in 1986, a rare 1921 Canadian 50-cent coin was auctioned in New York for $22,000. Another example of this rare coin was sold at auction in February 2015 for $220,000 ($266,200 with buyer's premium). The 1921 50-cent is called the "King of Canadian Coins," and many were melted down in 1929, but some survived and are prized by collectors. Not to be confused with a newer 50-cent that entered use in 1986.

It's Sunday and a good day to remember that on this day in 1911, the government of Canada put an end to all godless coins. The phrase "Dei Gratia," which ranslates to "by the grace of God," was reinstated after it was accidentally left off Canadian coins in 1911, leading to coins being called "godless". The omission was due to Finance Minister William Fielding not noticing the omission when he approved the design.

On today’s date in 1911, a Royal proclamation restored the words “Dei Gratia” (Latin for “By the Grace of God”) to all forthcoming Canadian coinage. Britain’s Royal Mint asked Canada’s Department of Finance to choose between obverse designs in English or Latin, the latter of which was chosen. Because Britain was responsible for preparing and […]
