Avril lavinge and the canada coins


The only thing I know about canada is most probably their pop rock singer; avril lavinge. Her concert in Malaysia this year is becoming a big story because the ban (because she is sexy?) and then approved by Malaysian government. The reason? The timing of the concert coincides with the Independence Day celebrations period and that there would also be prayers to be held around that time of the month. Some youth movement of a political party also said that the show was inappropriate as it could bring about bad influence to the young, and had urged the government to stop the concert.

The concert been held in Stadium Merdeka on 29 august 2008 starting at 8pm. It is a long wait for Malaysian like me to attend her concert. Unlucky for me I have a plan field trip during that weekend which is cancel last minute and I cannot get hold a free standing ticket for two on that day. Last night, I remember about the concert and want to know more about my canada coins.

Canada 25 cents ~Weight: 5.0600 g. Comp.: Nickel Ruler: Elizabeth II Obv.: Young bust right Rev.: Caribou left, denomination above, date at right Size: 23.8 mm.

Canada 10 cents ~Weight: 2.1400 g. Comp.: Nickel Ruler: Elizabeth II Obv.: Crowned head right Rev.: Bluenose sailing left, date at right, denomination below Edge: Reeded Size: 18.03 mm.

Canada is located to the north of the United States, and spans the full breadth of the northernportion of North America from Atlantic to Pacific oceans, except for the State of Alaska. It has a total area of 3,850,000 sq. mi. (9,971,550 sq. km.) and a population of 30.29 million.

In the early years, Canada’s coins were struck in England at the Royal Mint in London or at the Heaton Mint in Birmingham. Issues struck at the Royal Mint do not bear a mint mark, but those produced by Heaton carry an “H”. All Canadian coins have been struck since January 2, 1908, at the Royal Canadian Mints at Ottawa and recently at Winnipeg except for some 1968 pure nickel dimes struck at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, and do not bear mint marks. Ottawa’s mint mark (C) does not appear on some 20th Century Newfoundland issues, however, as it does on English type sovereigns struck there from 1908 through 1918. Canada is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Elizabeth II is Head of State as Queen of Canada.
