Canadian Mint has some nifty new design coins for sale

[ssfc72]

The Canadian Mint has some new design, $20 Silver coins that can be bought for $20.
This is a pretty good buy, since most of the Can Mint coins cost a great deal more, to buy, then what the denomination is or the what the worth of the metal used to make the coin is valued at.

Here is a Link to the coins:  http://www.mint.ca/store/product/rcmcoins.jsp?campaignName=20for20BatmanVSuperman&pId=4600022&lang=en_CA&rcmeid=atgm_TRANS_BMvsSM_Apr_2016

One $20 Silver coin commemorates the 50 anniversary of the original Star Trek TV series. The coin has a nice relief of the Star Trek Enterprise starship.

Another $20 Silver coin has a nice Batman vs Superman Dawn of Justice relief, on the coin face.

Only so many coins of each design have been minted and there is a limit of 5 coins per household that the Mint will sell to.

While these coins are stamped as $20 valuation, I believe these coins are non-circulating coins, which means you can't use them as money to buy something, but you are supposed to be able to go to a Canadian Bank and they will get the $20 circulating cash, for you, from the Bank of Canada.

Typically, these $20 Silver coins will sell for slightly more than their face value, on the open coin collector market.

I finally received my $20 Star Trek coin, in the mail.  :-)  Took a long time to get to me.

So? How's it look?! <^8#

Looks Ok.  Has a nice image of the starship, firing 2 phasers and an image of the Delta Shield Shield Insignia on the one side.
The other side has an ugly picture of the Queen.

For $109, you can get a $20 colour starship coin or for $1,299.95 you can get a pure gold $200 Startrek Delta Shield Insignia, shaped coin. :-)
