Which is better in your opinion, the royal Canadian or US mint?
Judge on these terms...
1. Circulation coins?
2. Coins you class as antique/old e.g. Morgan dollars etc.?
3. Bullion-junk silver?
4. Errors?
5. Which do you have the most coins from?
6. Which do you prefer?
7. Commemoratives?
Write the number and the mint beside it eg. 1. US
2. RCM
3. US etc.
The winner will go up against the winner of Royal Mint and Monnaie de Paris.

1. RCM (Both US and Canadian circulating coins are mostly unremarkable IMO though)
2. US (Just a shame how expensive some of those antique coins can get)
3. RCM (I really like the small varieties in Maple Leafs; whereas just about all Silver Eagle varieties seem to be done post-mint e.g. colouring by private groups to commemorate certain events)
4. RCM (Again, both are quite unremarkable IMO, I've just heard of more RCM error coins, I guess)
5. US (Mainly composed of my attempt at getting all the State Quarters the hard way; I have 45/56 now)
6. US (More variety in design than simply having a monarch on half of every coin surface you produce, but Canada makes up for it by having some really striking designs!)
7. US (Modern commemoratives are both quite unremarkable IMO for me, but the US classic commemoratives win the day for me)
1) RCM we have colorized circulation coins!
2) US the RCM only opened in 1908.... Though those 1935, 1936 dollars are beautiful coins.
3) RCM
4) RCM by a long shot, mostly due to backdoor jobs, ever heard of a coin struck on a nail?
5) RCM, don't forget all those issued by canada for other countries!
6) Loaded question, but US
7) RCM!!!
2)5
3)2
I collect anything: If it's Italian or Italian states i collect it even more!
1. US, but love the early Canadian coins.
2. US,Hard to beat Morgan, Peace and Liberty coins.
3.RCM, Seems to be their main focus lately.
4.RCM, Just about every circulation coin Pre-1980 has loads of circulation coin errors. Love em...
5.US
6.US, but Canada large cents is close.
7.US,
