 | | Unlike several U.S. attempts to introduce a dollar coin, the new coins were quickly accepted by the public, owing largely to the fact that the mint and government made it a "cold turkey" switch by removing the $1 and $2 bills from circulation. | | | This interchangeability led to some concern when the United States Mint decided that the new Sacagawea dollar coin would have the same colouring as the Canadian $1 coin, the "loonie", although this proved to be a non-issue. | | | As of fall 2004, the highest denomination coin minted in Canada is a $350 gold coin produced for the collector market, though the bullion values make its market value much higher than its face value. |
