Doesn't look like any PM is involved with this quarter.
It's made with cupronickel
Price is quite steep.
Something to rip off the unaware with I guess, just like The U.S state quarter series.

But you don't have to be Canadian to get one of the unique coins. You can in fact purchase your own glowing dinosaur coin directly from the Royal Canadian Mint. The coin will set you back a little over $30 in U.S. currency, more than 120 times its actual monetary value.

As big a scam as the lotus coins? Nice coins but 100 fiat for 1 oz Ag?

$15 Fine Silver Lunar Lotus Coin - Year of the Dragon (2012) (http://www.mint.ca/store/coin/15-fine-silver-lunar-lotus-coin-year-of-the-dragon-2012-prod1140001)

How appropriate.....

The queen looks like and is old as a dinosaur.

I think I might get a whole batch!
