If you have ever bought or sold a Gold Maple Leaf, held a silver bar stamped with the maple leaf logo, or simply wondered where Canadian coins actually come from, here\u2019s what\u2019s worth knowing.<\/p>\n

What the Royal Canadian Mint Does<\/h2>\n

Most Canadians know the Royal Canadian Mint makes coins. Fewer people know how much else about what the Mint does. The Mint has two facilities. One in Ottawa, where the craft work happens – collector coins, bullion in gold, silver, platinum and palladium, medals, and all the engraving and tooling that goes into creating coin dies. The refinery and assay lab are there too. Another in Winnipeg, where the volume happens. About one billion Canadian circulation coins come out of that facility every year. It has also produced coins for more than 80 other countries since it opened in 1976 – this year marks the 50th anniversary, which the Mint is celebrating with a limited-edition collector coin set (you can take a look at the set on our sister company site, Canadian Coin and Currency \u9019\u88e1<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

On top of circulation coins, the Mint produces investment-grade bullion – Gold and Silver Maple Leafs, platinum and palladium coins, bars in gold and silver – all at 99.99% purity for gold. That standard has been the benchmark since 1982.<\/p>\n

The Mint is a Crown corporation, owned by the Government of Canada. That means the bullion it produces is government-guaranteed. When you\u2019re buying or selling precious metals, that kind of backing matters.<\/p>\n

Where Canada Gold Comes In<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Canada Gold is an authorized Royal Canadian Mint distributor and a registered BULLION DNA™ dealer – part of a network approved directly by the Mint. Here\u2019s why that matters. Since 2014, every one-ounce Gold Maple Leaf has carried BULLION DNA™ technology – an encrypted code built into the coin\u2019s privy mark that can only be read with an official RCM DNA reader. Silver Maple Leafs got the same treatment in 2015. It\u2019s one of the more serious anti-counterfeiting systems out there.<\/p>\n

As a registered DNA dealer, Canada Gold can verify Maple Leaf coins on the spot. When you buy one from us, you know it’s genuine. When you sell one back, we can confirm it the same way.<\/p>\n

What That Means for You<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Buying through an authorized RCM dealer means you\u2019re inside the Mint\u2019s verified distribution network. No grey market, no guessing about what you\u2019ve actually got. Selling is just as straightforward. Maple Leaf coins are among the most recognized bullion products in the world, which makes them easy to price accurately against the live spot market. We buy them at competitive market prices.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re buying for the first time or selling something you\u2019ve had for years, give your nearest Canada Gold location<\/a> a visit. Canada Gold carries the full range of Royal Canadian Mint products at all of our \u5730\u9ede<\/a> across Canada. No appointment needed.<\/p>\n
