A three-piece coin collection called ‘Dinosaurs of Canada’ has recently been declared the best-selling coins of the week of Canada by the Royal Canadian Mint.The three-coin set features three different prehistoric wonders, all on 25-cent coins. The collection is described as being, "A fun set of special-themed 25-cent coins that celebrate Canada’s prehistoric past".
The description reads, “Tucked inside an exhibit-ready pop-up folder, these special-themed coins feature three different dinosaurs that were discovered in Canada—the proof is in their names!”
According to the product description, the Canadian dinosaurs featured in the collection are a "spiky Edmontonia longiceps", "a Pachyrhinosaurus Canadensis charging headlong at a rival", and a "hungry Albertosaurus sarcophagus".
The intention behind the set is to give collectors a little taste of what Late Cretaceous Canada looked like, between 72-68 million years ago.
The collection is totally Canadian and is available on their website. The coins are also on a bit of a sale right now. For just $19.95, as a three-coin set, they currently come with free shipping.
