Mint
Royal Canadian Mint of Winnipeg, Canada (1976-date)Comments
(en) The Royal Canadian Mint created these non-circulation test tokens to calibrate coin acceptance equipment in the vending industry. These test tokens incorporate the new security features, such as the laser mark micro-engraving, virtual image, and edge-lettering specific to each type of coin. Approximately one million test tokens of each denomination were produced, which were all sent back to the Mint. Mintage on this coin set is limited to only 25,000 sets worldwide!
The tokens are similar in many ways to the coins that they heralded, but the main difference is the indication of their test token status with the letters T and É (representing “Test” in English and “Épreuve” in French) within the maple leaf laser marks.
