It’s a coin with a Canadian connection. Let’s not have a bird over it.

Richard & Vadim: Ummm… Joe Shuster, the comic book artist who “co-created” Superman was born in Toronto. Charles Thorson, who designed and named Bugs Bunny was born in Winnipeg.

Thanks for mentioning Canadian Mint’s objective. They sure didn’t achieved it with this coin design. Well maybe half-an-half since the other side is the queen.

I think, unfortunately it’ll be some time before a bill is introduced on a U.S. Supermen commemorative. Americana brand is not in style right now. If you know what I mean.

It might be legally worth $20 CDN, but the weight is 1/4 of an ounce. At the going price of silver that works out to about $4.27 US. Not a very good deal. Also, the Canadian Mint website says a coin they make:

. RCM Marketing conducts bi-annual market research to evaluate themes and their emotional and commercial appeal with our coin buyers. In addition, themes must:

Reflect Canada’s heritage, values and culture;
Be appropriate to the currency of Canada and commemorate, celebrate, or promote Canada by depicting themes of significance to Canadians

I sure don’t this this happening here. If either of the creators were Canadian then maybe, but they were from Ohio.

As for taking it–well, how easy do you think it would be to pass a US commemorative half or dollar here, even if somebody wanted to?

I think if the mint got the rights to make Supermen coin designed according to the original movie serous and not the comic then I would buy it. Just my $0.02

Superman looks a bit like Senator Ted Kennedy
