Canadian gift sets: annual collector coins

[<k>]

Our forum member MCz has just told me of the existence of these trinkets.

Canada issues a lot of so called "Gift set" released for Birthday, Wedding, Newborn (before was called Baby set), Holiday (Christmas), Congratulation etc. This started about 18 years ago (I guess 2006) with an individual 25c coin in card, then after a few years a full set of circulation coins was issued with a commemorative 25c. In 2014 this was switched from 25c to 1$.

Sets are issued to commemorate the events. I can imagine that some people buy the set to give it to someone who is married, has a new baby or as a Christmas gift.

When it comes to the trivialisation of numismatics, Canada has a lot to answer for.

Oh! I forgot about "Oh!Canada". There are the coins with Canadian motif like maple leave, flag.
