Added the War of 1812 Canadian quarters to my collection and 3 dollar coins.

Attached is the scan of the quarters with 1812 on a red maple left.

The three dollar coins in the 2nd scan are:

1982 Constitution dollar coin
1984 Jacques Cartier dollar coin
1992 Parliament dollar coin

The text on the 25 cents coins looks quite interesting. Any idea what it's saying?

The small text is "The War of 1812/La guerre de 1812".

Yes, I see it now. And there's the dog Latin to keep the Quebeckers happy, even though they probably never volunteered and were the first to surrender.

I also have the version of the quarters which are not colourized.

I think so since these are clad coins. 1982 Constitution Commemorative mintage was 11,812,000 and the 1984 Jacques Cartier the mintage was 6,141,503.
