This is a question I have been asking myself for a long time. I mean no disrespect to her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, but her link to Canada has become so minimal of the the last 25 years that its rather funny that her picture remains on all of our coins. Would there not be anyone else worthy of putting on Canadian pieces?
The United States for example have so many varieties, right from the original Lincoln Wheat Penny of 1909 which changed in 1958 to the varieties of Gold Quarter Eagles, Half Eagles, Eagles and Double Eagles. Figures on U.S. coins are allowed to be changed every 25 years. Sure, U.S pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, 50 cent pieces and dollars have pictures of president's on them, but look how many there have been. The variety that this allows allows the U.S. to keep its varieties fresh and updated. Even the commemorative pieces the U.S. comes up with uses its many figures to create varieties. For example, the presidential dollar sets that are currently being sold, for every presidential dollar, another $5 gold coin is issued for their spouse. Not to mention the long history of silver commemoratives for events like the Panama Pacific Exhibition of 1915, or the Oregon Trail Silver piece.
Canada certainly does have nice currency, no doubt, and some valuable ones as well. For example, the 1921 50 cent piece, which in good condition can fetch upward of $30,000. This piece features the face of King George the V, who at that point certainly held more significance in Canada than his granddaughter does today.
I think its time for Canada to start diversifying its coinage, start using more Prime Ministers perhaps or people of significance to Canada. The Queen has had her turn.
