TORONTO - Colin Cutler has been going to coin shows since he was 14 but has never come across a coin as popular as the black-ringed toonie the Royal Canadian Mint released to memorialize the late Queen Elizabeth.
The two-dollar coin with a black band of nickel-plated steel features the late monarch s effigy in the centre of one side and the usual polar bear on an ice floe on the other. It s marked 2022, the year of the queen s death. The mint produced about five million of the toonies, amounting to about one for every eight Canadians.
Dozens of musicians have and will continue to perform at locations along Franklin Street as part of Downtown Live, a free outdoor concert series hosted by the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership. The annual series began on March 25 and events will take place every Saturday and on the second Friday of each month throughout the spring.
