Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

The Royal Mint just recently put up two pages on their website for Transformers themed coins

Feels like it should be news out here? Was this reported before?

pretty cool but seems a little rich for what you get

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

That’s fairly standard for those fancy coins from what I gather.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

Very nice coins. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

a co-worker mentioned those to me this morning. I'll consider the cheaper one but when I fist looked I came across these

I would have gotten them till I saw the $$$

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

I'd buy that for a quarter!

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

:rofl: I wish they were

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

Cool but why?

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

Why not?

They made stuff for DC comics and Star Trek, it’s neat to see Transformers be ‘worthy’ of that treatment.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

WoW. I would have liked this set.
Wish I would have been aware of it back in 2013.
But, even then, I'd be hesitating and unsure 'cos of the price...

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

Merçi, Undrave!
Appreciate the post.
The lenticular coin is a must-have for me at that price. Ordered!
Now pondering over the :primelaugh: Silver Coin... ugh. $160...:banghead:

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

It's written in the links, there are several connections to Canada, one of the big ones being that Peter Cullen was born and raised in Montreal, Canada.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

Finally a TF coin that's actually worth something. Take that Takara! :P

Ordered the "transforming" one.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

I'm not up on the current IDW artists... is the art by one of them? The info only says who did the reverse side Queen art (unless I misread it?).

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Sara Pitre-Durocher did the face side. She's one of IDW's main artists right now.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

I remember it was a pretty big deal when they first did the superman coins. I was driving around hunting them down to complete the set.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Ordered the silver coin! Pricey, yes, but pretty cool!

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Awesome.

If they wrote the Queen's name in Cybertronian like Optimus, I probably would be amused enough to buy one already... As is... Still considering...

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

I was just about to buy the cheaper coin when thought why not take a look at the more expensive coin? I was blown away by that coin's glowing eyes and detail.

When I looked back at the cheaper coin, I now strangely found it wanting.

Didn't buy the cheaper coin yet.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

The art comes from Marcello Matere, a current vancouver resident, who is behind a lot of the packaging art since armada. Sarah coloured it.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Ooh cool! I didn’t notice! She’s Canadian too!

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers coins
 

O.k. then, that will teach me to do my research. I'm glad the Canadian mint actually has a rationale for this that includes how it is linked to Canada. I may have to get it now.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

I can't find her name linked to these coins anywhere...
Can you cite your source? It might make the difference whether I buy them or not... thanks :)

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

It's not in the links. But she confirmed it on Facebook:

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Awesome thank you!!

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Got my shipping notification already.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Can u imagine the serious boardroom discussions to select the subject and green light such a coin? Jim wants to do Thomas but sally wants Barbie or Paw Patrol. What about Super Mario or PAC-man? People love video games. Nah, maybe we should honour classic toys like Slinky or Monopoly with real money.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Gotta have a Canadian collection... maybe Theodore Tugboat!

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Oh, I'm in on these!

This means, though, I'm now definitely out on Haslabicron.

(...probably.)

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Received my Lenticular coins today. (I bought 2)
Pretty pretty. Haven't opened the package though.
Not sure if I need to.

side note: I know someone who also got the coins, including the $25 Silver Coin. Told me she got #1300-something (out of the 3,500 minted).

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

My spouse bought me an early Christmas present, I asked for the 25 cent coin. I liked that one best.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

My coins arrived today! Wasn't expecting them until September 4th

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

These were available at FanExpo, the Royal Canadian Mint had a booth there or was it Canada Post, anyways it was a federal institution. Very cool, nice to know there is a connection to Canada.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

Can you add pics ??
does it light up ??
Either??
Please add pics.

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

His eyes do glow in the dark but you'll need to hold it up to the light for a long time

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

New challenge: buy an Optimus Prime toy using nothing but Optimus Prime money!

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

I ordered the silver coin only and I have just received it!

Re: Royal Canadian Mint Transformers Coins
 

If anyone is looking to pick up the coins while also getting their actual fix of Transformers toys, TFTOYS.CA is carrying them at the same price as the Mint. Also available for pickup if you'll be at any of the western Comic Expos next month (Red and White in Calgary, SaskExpo in Saskatoon, Edmonton Expo)
