Dinosaur - Coloured Glow-in-the-dark Coin (2012)
Glow-in-the-dark technology! A MINT FIRST!
New Series! The Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai dinosaur coin is the first in a 4-coin Prehistoric Creature glow-in-the-dark (photo-luminescent) series!
Special features:
• For best effect, place the coin in sunlight, fluorescent, or incandescent light for 30 – 60 seconds then bring the coin into the dark to reveal the skeleton of the dinosaur!
• Turn off the lights and discover the Pachyrhinosaurus’s glowing skeleton!
• Photo-luminescent will not wear!
• Limited to 25,000 coins worldwide.
• Designs approved by the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology.
Design:
The palaeontologist's interpretation of how Pachyrhinosaurus lakustai may have appeared - both inside and out!
Packaging:
Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint branded maroon clamshell case lined with black flock and protected by a customized coloured sleeve with glow-in-the-dark elements.
An ideal gift for dinosaur enthusiasts young and old, and a unique addition to any numismatic collection.

Comments about Dinosaur - Coloured Glow-in-the-dark Coin (2012):
I'm glad its here & it looks great. The info book that comes with it is well done as is the glow in the dark lettering on the package.
It was supposed to arrive last spring! The Mint contacted once about 4 months after it was supposed to arrive, that was 3 months ago. Customer Service was pleasant and helpful, but spending 20 minutes on the phone both times I called was not pleasant.

Disappointed - No glowing Queen skeleton
By Michael
from Adelaide, South Australia
About Me Education Oriented, Parent of Two or More Children
Pros
- Awesome Glowing Dinosaur
Cons
- No Glowing Queen Skeleton
Best Uses
- Adults
- Fans Of Dinosaurs
- Older Children
- Teens
Comments about Dinosaur - Coloured Glow-in-the-dark Coin (2012):
While the glow in the dark Pachyrhinosaurus is fantastic, I was extremely disappointed to find that Queen didn't also have a glow in the dark skeleton on the other side of the coin. With this in mind, I would find the product hard to recommend and suspect that most other customers will be equally as disappointed as I.
