2022 Canada First Strikes Special Wrap Roll Collection

2022 Canada First Strikes Special Wrap Roll Collection


The first circulation coins struck this year! From the beaver to the mighty polar bear, Canada's classic circulation coin designs are the featured stars of the 2022 Special Wrap Roll Collection: First Strikes. Inside the collector case, you'll find a special wrap roll of each denomination ($2, $1, 25¢, 10¢, 5¢). These are some of the first 2022-dated circulation pieces struck at our Winnipeg facility. And they're all wrapped in premium paper sealed with a holographic label, to ensure that our first impressions of 2022 will be a memorable addition to your collection.

Over a billion circulation coins are struck each year at the Royal Canadian Mint's high-tech plant in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where their state-of-the-art equipment and processes can produce up to 15 million plated coins each day!
