Canadian 10 Cent Coin

My dad has a 10 cent Canadian coin and it's missing the 1 at the beginning. It says 975 instead of 1975. He wants to put it up on eBay just to see how much he'd get for it..

We've been trying to pictures of it, but it never turns out right.. We want to take pictures specifically of the misprinted date. Every time we'd do it, the picture would turn out blurry and if we'd try it with the flash on it'd just be really light and you couldn't see anything. We've tried in the dark with the flash on, etc and nothing works.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

try taking the picture from an angle instead of straight on

Canadian 5-cent, 10-cent and 25-cent coins are magnetic and thus do not work in vending machines in the United States. Placing a Canadian coin in a U.S. vending machine is like trying to use a metal slug. Are there vending machines in Canada, and, if so, do Canadian coins work in them? If they do work, how are Canadian vending machines able to handle magnetic coins without getting jammed?

It depends on the type of coin mechanism. If you are referring to a mechanical coin mech - like the ones found on bulk candy machines then US and Canadian coins are interchangeable since they are the same size.

If you are dealing with large snack and soda machines, they use electronic coin validators which check the coins' size and weight.

I have a 1, 5, and 10 cent Canadian coins. What are they worth compared to the U.S. dollar?

CAD = Canada Dollars
USD = United States Dollars

Your 1-cent Canadian coin:
0.01 CAD = 0.00981836 USD

Your 5-cent Canadian coin:
0.05 CAD = 0.0490918 USD

Your 10-cent Canadian coin:
0.10 CAD = 0.0981836 USD

American money's running just a little shy of Canadian money right now.

1. What do the letters and words mean around the face of the Queen on Canadian coins?

2. What famous sailing ship is shown on the 10-cent coin?

3. What is the Russian equivalent of dollars and cents?

1. Dei Gratia Regina (often abbreviated to D. G. Regina and seen as D·G·REGINA) is Latin for By the Grace of God, Queen. This phrase appears on the obverse of all Canadian coins to the right of the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is not to be confused with "D. G. REG. F. D." standing for Dei gratia regina fidei defensor which appears on the back of British coins.

Exceptions include a commemorative Canadian 10-cent piece from 2001, and a series of 25-cent pieces commemorating the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver (releases starting in 2007), where the phrase is omitted from the coins' obverse for space reasons.

History : Coins minted from 1902 until 1910 under King Edward VII read "D. G. Rex Imperator" which is Latin for "By the Grace of God, King and Emperor". From 1911 to 1936, under George V, it read "Dei Gra Rex Et Ind Imp" which stands for Dei Gratia Rex et Indiae Imperator which means "By the Grace of God, King and Emperor of India". From 1937 to 1947 under the reign of George VI, it read either "Dei Gra Rex Et Ind Imp" as before or was abbreviated "D. G. Rex Et Ind Imp". From 1947 to 1952, still under George VI, after the condeferation of India, they read "Dei Gratia Rex". From 1952 until 1964, it read "Dei Gratia Regina" under Queen Elizabeth II. From 1964 onwards, it was abbreviated on all coins to the current phrase of "D. G. Regina".

2. In Canada a dime is a coin worth ten cents. It is the smallest (in physical size) of the Canadian coins. According to the Royal Canadian Mint, the official national term of the coin is the 10 cent piece, but in practice the term dime is universal. It is nearly identical in size to the American dime, but unlike its counterpart, the Canadian dime is magnetic due to a distinct metal composition: from 1968-99 it was composed entirely of nickel, and since 2000 it has had a high steel content. It is also part of the Bluenose.

Currently the dime has, as with all Canadian coins, a portrait of Her Majesty the Queen on the obverse. The reverse contains a representation of the Bluenose, a famous Canadian schooner. The artist, Emmanuel Hahn, used 3 ships including the Bluenose as his models, so the ship design is actually a composite.

The word "dime" comes from the French word "dîme", meaning "tithe" or "tenth part," from the Latin decima (pars).

3. $1.00 Canadian (CAD) = $24.41 Russian Ruble (RUB)
$0.01 Canadian (CAD) = $0.24 Russian Ruble (RUB)
