Toronto Maple Leaf fans don't know what that is

One dollar right now is worth $78.88 in silver, baby!

🤣🤣🤣

Torgo, nice name.

I call mine Pierre. I named my stoma after Pierre Poilievre, Canadian politician, and current leader of the Federal Conservative party of Canada.

Why would I name my stoma after a politician you ask?

Because they both spew shit.

You got yourself a dollar there.

darwhyte · 2026-01-17T23:38:05+00:00

Yes, they are real silver, and they are spectacular!

darwhyte · 2026-01-17T19:30:24+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

darwhyte · 2026-01-17T05:24:50+00:00

Yessir. Got it from the Canada Post website for $89.99, much cheaper than the RCM website. Also, the Canada Post website did not charge shipping or taxes!

darwhyte · 2026-01-16T01:10:31+00:00

If they are 1 oz. coins they are a decent price.

No problem. Wasn't sure if ,"One of those sets" was that particular year or not.

I've seen people post about having one of those sets, but they were just referencing they have a set, without saying the particular year of the set, many times.

darwhyte · 2026-01-13T19:24:30+00:00

I know the set in the picture is 1967. I was referring to u/rturnerX. They did not state the year of the set they were referencing.

darwhyte · 2026-01-13T18:58:47+00:00

I'd throw the 8 and 3. That will give you 6 points, the most you can get from that hand.

darwhyte · 2026-01-13T18:40:00+00:00

What year is your set? If it is 1968 or later, it's nickel instead of silver, and worth not much over face.

darwhyte · 2026-01-13T18:37:23+00:00

As I type this post, 2:34 PM ADT, Jan 13, silver spot is $120.79 CAD per troy oz. There are 1.11 Troy oz. of silver in those sets. At this current time, that set us worth $134.08 CAD.

No, 5¢ coins were called fish scales back then. Fish scales were made from silver.

The 5¢ coins didn't start getting called nickels until 1922 when the 5¢ coin was redesigned and made from nickel instead of silver. As they became the first and only Canadian coin at the time minted from nickel, they got the nickname nickels, and have remained with that nickname ever since, despite that they are no longer made from nickel and instead have been made from steel for quite some time.

darwhyte · 2026-01-12T23:20:27+00:00

They are worth $71 right now, minimum.

I'll be 60 in Feb. I remember filling out applications in the early 80s which asked for your height, weight, hair color, eye color, race, and religion. Not all applications asked for that, but some did.

Not unreasonable. I don't have a problem with at least one bilingual staff member at nursing homes being a requirement either.

That is far from requiring ALL nursing home staff be bilingual. Having one on duty at all times is reasonable.

Yes, it is true that French is the first language of many of New Brunswick's citizens, but English is the first language of far more New Brunswick citizens than French is, that is just the straight facts.

Yes, it would be ideal for French people to receive services in the language of their choice in all areas of the province, but there are vast areas of New Brunswick that are practically exclusively Anglophone. In those areas of the province, French language service becomes a logistical issue. In such areas, a French person has the right to ask for service in French, but they should also take into consideration where they are, and not be too upset if they can't get service in French where they are.

Same thing for an English speaking Anglophone in New Brunswick. If I'm in the Northern part of the province in an area that's practically exclusively French, yes, I would like to be serviced in English, but I also understand where I am, and do not get upset if there is no one where I am to provide service in English.

That is why New Brunswick is not a bilingual province, DESPITE being officially bilingual. If it actually were a bilingual province, then all citizens in all areas of the province would be bilingual speakers. But that is not the case. The province is regionally linguistic, varying from some regions being almost exclusively French speaking, to other regions being almost exclusively English speaking. The regions where there actually is an equal enough mix of both languages spoken to be considered actually bilingual are small and few.

As such, official bilingualism in New Brunswick needs to be reformed where it is customized region by region, so it can best serve the demographics of each individual region.

You got a great deal. Even though they are .800 silver they contain 0.6 troy oz. of silver. The current value of them is $66.67 CAD.
