2000 Ingenuity Canada Quarter

Have a Canadian quarter and want to know its value? Leave a comment

Going through my Canadian coin vault and found more commemorative circulating quarters. This one is the second of the 2000 millennium series. Each month had a different coin representing the hopes and dreams of the Canadian future. February was Ingenuity and highlights the technological advancements.


Apparently satellite dishes are the cutting edge of the future. High speed rail and I think solar farms are also featured. Some sort of futuristic plane is flying over the city and unless Canada has some sort of secret UFO program I have not seen these planes yet.
 
 

The lack of good lighting is starting to annoy me so please excuse the odd pictures.

The coin also has the French INGÉNIOSITÉ because the still have a large French speaking population. Most Canadian coins are not multilingual but for many commemorative coins they add the second language. Not sure what is the rule but it seems pretty scattered.

Here are the stats...
Type/Country: 25 Cents-February Ingenuity / Canada
Year: 2000
Mintage: 35,812,988
Metal: 100% Nickel
Value: $0.25 in EF-40

The word "cents" is the same in English and French, otherwise latin or numbers are utilized. The coins are bilingual, they just hide it ;D

If they grade MS-60 then about $2.00 each
