I'm going to be in Ottawa tomorrow, and I was wondering if those poppy dollars are in general distribution, or if you have to get them from the mint. I want to pick one up while I'm there. I'll check in here before I leave in the morning. Thanks in advance for any answers.

They are quarters and yes they are in general circulation. If you don't find one just pop into any bank.

Ah, quarters, that makes the search easier. I would have been checking the wrong coins.

I'm heading out the door, and I almost forgot to check back in.

I got one of them from Tim Horton's last week. It's really not as impressive as I thought it would be. It looks as they the poppy was printed on, I thought it was part of the quarter's material.

I already spent it on candy.
