Reply to TIL that in an effort to save $43.5, the Canadian Mint mailed the dies of the new $1 coin via a discount courier over using an armored car- which were promptly stolen and have never been found. This would lead to the adoption of the Loonie design as an emergency replacement. by Padgriffin
You say Canadian Mint like they all decided together when in reality it was probably some dumbass middle manager who would have been fired but his female assistant had the brilliant idea of using the Loonie designs that they already had and he presented it to the execs as his own idea and blamed her for everything because fuck her she kept refusing his advances for 6 months and now he's the Director of Mint Operations.
