Nickel blanks shape Canadian coinage history
In a Fort Saskatchewan Alberta plant, Sherritt Gordon Mines Limited advanced a pilot process to directly roll nickel powder into strips for coin blanks. The project helped Canada secure a major Mint contract for 10 million blanks and later multi denomination work, marking a shift from foreign supply to domestic production and highlighting powder metallurgy advantages in purity and ductility.
