The Royal Canadian Mint is hosting a coin exchange at its Ottawa boutique, inviting the public to trade their change to collect the first circulation coins featuring the effigy of King Charles III.
This is a unique opportunity to collect one of each circulating denomination featuring Canada’s new royal effigy. Visitors will receive a package of 2023-dated coins containing $2, $1, 25-cent, 10-cent, and 5-cent coins worth $3.40.
A limit of one coin package per guest will be exchanged while supplies last. Coin exchanges are cash-only transactions; any combination of Canadian circulation coin or banknote denominations is acceptable. Guests are asked to bring exact change, if possible.
The exchange will occur on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Mint Boutique, 320 Sussex Drive, Ottawa — (613) 993-8990.
