Mint Nearly Idie Ottawa Coinage Slow as Banks Hold Back
At the royal mint only copper coins are struck this year with no silver coins produced due to lack of bank demand. Copper coinage output runs about half a ton daily but last week dropped to one and a half tons. Mint officials say if Canadians refuse United States coins the need for Canadian coinage would reemerge. There is 200000 dollars in silver coinage in reserve. English sovereigns are minted occasionally but no Canadian five dollar gold pieces have been struck yet.
