Whitman folder holds Canadian Two Dollar, along with history on the inside flap. This is a tri-fold folder that opens flat for all at once viewing with a total of 48 openings (The number of coins minted and the year is printed below each opening for 1996-2013, 1- space for Polar Reverse and 22 blank spaces) then closes to book size for easy storage. This durable, attractive folder comes in the traditional "Whitman blue." Its cover shows an artfully rendered image of the "Toonie", Canada's bimetallic $2 coin. Inside is a narrative describing the coins and their place in Canada's rich and fascinating numismatic history. In early colonial times, the hard money of British North America came from Great Britain and other countries. In much of Canada, barter was common, and many merchants and banks issued their own copper tokens, some provinces issued their own semi-official tokens as well. In 1841, the newly unified Province of Canada began to push for it's own coins, but met with British resistance until 1857, when a new system established the Canadian dollar on par with the U.S. gold dollar) as the unit of currency. Canadian coinage bore the portrait of the British monarch from that date onward. The holes in this folder have a special LOCK-IN feature. But first, a word of caution: always hold a coin by the edge and never touch its obverse or reverse. We recommend you wear gloves when pressing your coins into place. Now that you are ready, simply place the coin with one edge tipped into the hole, and then press the high edge downward and toward the lowered edge (slantwise). Feel the snap? It's locked in!
