The theme
for the March Millennium 25-cent coin was Achievement. Since
Canada has
done lots of achieving in the past
Millennium, for example, the invention of the Canadarm,
the discovery of diamonds in the
North-West Territories, and the invention of the
telephone by Alexander Graham Bell
in southern Ontario. That category fit right into the
Millennium series, because of all
that Canada has achieved, and will achieve in the years
ahead.
The Royal
Canadian Mint receives the ISO 9001 Certification for the
Ottawa facility
At
a special presentation March 10, the Royal Canadian Mint received
its official
ISO 9001 certification for its
Ottawa facility. The certification was awarded from
accreditation agency KPMG.
The Royal Canadian Mint is only one of a few mints in the
world to have ISO certification.
My Coin of the Month
This One Cent coin is a coin that I
created by scanning an old 1-cent coin,
changing the date to 1900, and removing 1 CENT so, it would be
different from a regular
coin. If you have any questions or comments, e-mail me at:
[email protected], and I
will try to answer as soon as possible.
