I'm curious if Canadian coins have any value beyond their face value. Could they be worth more due to their metal content, rarity, or collector's value? I'd like to know if my Canadian coins are worth keeping.

I've noticed that Canadian coins seem to be quite rare compared to coins from other countries. I'm curious about the reasons behind this scarcity. Could it be due to their limited mintage, or are there other factors that contribute to the rarity of Canadian coins?

The first coins in Canada were issued in 1858, labeled as 'CANADA', during the time of the Province of Canada which later became Ontario and Quebec. However, it was in 1870, after the formation of the Canadian federation in 1867, that the official coins of the federal government began to be issued.
