Comment
The Royal Canadian Mint's 2017 annual report stated a mintage of 15,750,000 for regular circulating 2017 coins, even though the circulating coins for that year only bore the Canada 150 commemorative design (which has a different mintage listed). However, starting in 2017, the annual report omitted the 'Coins struck dated 2017' table, meaning the 15,750,000 coins were probably dated either 2016 or 2018, even though they were struck in 2017.
Interesting fact
The 2012-2022 Canadian $1 coin featuring Elizabeth II (4th portrait, new alloy) was the first coin to use a new alloy composition that includes a small amount of nickel, which gives it a distinctive silver color. This was a departure from the traditional copper-nickel alloy used in previous Canadian $1 coins. The use of this new alloy was intended to make the coin more durable and resistant to wear and tear.
