In the latest issue of Coinage there is an article about collecting world coins and mention is made that Canadian coins no longer circulate in the US border cities of Canada due to the wide difference in purchasing power between the US and Canadian dollar. This just isn't true as I get probably at...

The U.S. Mint webpage used to do a good job listing upcoming products. I see nothing about the 2003 Silver Proof Set. Anyone heard when the Mint plans to put them on-sale ? Could there be a delay because they plan to make a silver "Lewis and Clark" nickel as part of the set ? Apologies if this...
