The Royal Canadian Mint invites the public to trade their change for its 2023 commemorative coins and the Queen black outer ring mourning coin.
The exchange will occur on Thursday, Oct. 12, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Rexall Pharmacy Canada Post Outlet, 6-900 Greenbank Road, Nepean. The public can exchange their pocket change to collect the Mint’s $2 National Indigenous People’s Day, $1 Elsie MacGill and $2 Jean Paul Riopelle circulation coins. The Mint is also offering the 2022 $2 circulation coin featuring a black outer ring issued in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The Mint says there will be a limit on the number of coins guests can exchange while supplies last. Coin exchanges are cash-only transactions, and any Canadian circulation coin or banknote denomination is acceptable.
