2. Does the $29.95 include Shipping and Handling?

5. Shipping is free if you're a Masters Club member

All you have to do to become a Masters Club member is buy more than CAD$999.99 worth of stuff from the Royal Canadian Mint within a 365-day period.

6. If I was going to visit Canada soon...

I'd take all of my money and get it changed into glow in the dark quarters and pay for everything with them. I wouldn't even accept change, because I wouldn't want non-glow-in-the-dark money sullying my pockets.

7. Too late. I just drank Canada Dry.

You will be quite parched in no time

8. The fucker costs $30. It's worth 25 cents. Think about it.

10. Indeed...

And I still want it!

9. OMG I want one!!!!!

A glowing dinosaur coin is not only cool, but it's symbolism is somehow apropos for these times!

Now the question is--what will the US do in response, huh?? I think we better think of something really fast.

A glowing electric eel
A glowing deep sea fish--one with the big mouth and lure--with added symbolism (consumerism=good)
A space scene with glowing stars
A UFO with glowing lights....

Wow the possibilities are endless!!!

12. bah -- in the U.S. we would have

In God We Trust with a glow in the dark image of god.

11. GAH! WANT!

That is possibly the most awesome coin ever.
