Title: The Voyageur Dollar
Post by: Trois Castors on February 25, 2010, 11:42:44 PM

From 1935 until 1986 the Canadian Mint produced
a silver dollar affectionately known as the "Voyageur Dollar"
[albumimg:1sdruywk]4732[/albumimg:1sdruywk]
It shows a Voyageur and an Aborigional paddler
going past an island and tree with the Northern Lights
in the background.The thing that makes the 1935 coin
differant than the rest is that the trade bale closest
to the front is marked HB.

A canoe slipping through the waters is appropriate. I've had a lot of dollars slip through my fingers!
