It has only been one full day since the new year arrived and I have yet to find anything. If this trend continues I will find zero this year. All kidding aside at least I still have my vault coins to show off. This time around it is another in the Canadian Millinnium series. The concept of harmony is the feature which is represented by a stylized maple leaf.
Issued for the June release of 2000 the reverse has that stylized maple leaf and the words HARMONY and HARMONIE in French. Like the 2000 Pride/January quarter this design suffered from die rotation errors. Die rotation is when on or both of the dies used to make the coin is in the incorrect position. The results is having one side of the coin in the wrong position when flipping the coin over.
Canadian coins have medal alignment (↑↑) which is when the is held face up like pictured above and you flip it left or right (← or → ) then the other side is also facing up. For this coin the die rotation error is about 135 degrees or ↑←. That means when the Queen is facing up and the coin gets flipped left or right the reverse is tilted on its side. These do bring in extra value up to $100.00 in mint state as opposed to $0.50 for the same normal ↑↑ version.
Here are the stats...

Year: 2000
Mintage: 34,604,075
