The Royal Canadian Mint is recognized worldwide for the technological innovation and
exquisite detail of its coins. Both at home and abroad, our products are widely respected as
the standard in minting today. But you needn't take our word for it — the many awards our coins
have garnered speak for themselves.

2013 Best New Coin Innovation
Excellence in Currency Awards by the International Association of Currency Affairs (IACA)
Category: Best New Coin Innovation
Coin: Multi-ply plated steel $1 and $2 circulation coins
The Mint developed visible and covert security features for its new generation of $1 and $2 circulation coins. These include a laser mark micro-engraving on the reverse (or tails side) of both coins and Digital Non-destructive Activation (DNA) technology, by which the surface structure of each coin can be read like a fingerprint and checked against a database of all $1 and $2 coins produced by the Mint since 2012. The $2 circulation coin also features a shifting virtual image on its reverse, as well as edge-lettering.
