 Royal Canadian Mint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1971, the Mint began a series of commemorative silver dollars, issued for collectors, that continues to this day; each year, a new reverse design is featured.
The Mint designs and manufactures: collector coins; gold, silver and platinum bullion coins; customized medals, tokens and trade dollars; and watches and jewellery featuring coin designs.
The diameters of the 50 cents and 1 dollar coins were reduced at this time to lengthen die life, since nickel is a much harder metal than silver.

The blanks are the run through an edging machine that forces up the edge; the purpose of this being twofold--firstly it stops the blanks from sticking together, and secondly it means that the coining press has less work to do later on when it produces the rim.
