Bilge Rats, no silver found in this Month’s Vending machine plundering. Other than the Customers I have observed other landlubbers inspecting the Compass Machine output tray where the receipt or change is issued. The Transit system Maintenance people in their green uniforms regularly check them as do a few well-known Pan Handlers, Pop can Binners, and one particular old Asian lass. This time the big score was one of the Station’s Beverage machines.
2015 2 Dollars Remembrance Commemorative of the 100th Anniversary of “In Flanders Fields” Poem. A pretty big deal in Canadian history with this coin being the 2015 Interpretation along with many other Canadian coins minted before and after this one including numismatic varieties. Mintage of 5,000,000 Coins.
To collect the entire theme may be quite involved and one would seriously get the impression that we treat our own Canadian war veterans, active servicemen and reserves with the utmost solemn reverence and funding. But In truth, not quite, when you talk particularly to the Vets about their inadequate retirement and health care, then the reservists about antiquated equipment and the list it goes on. I think our politicians rather glow and rest in the safety of past glories and not really stand for anything “on guard for thee” than for the present. I don’t think the vague values our Prime Minister of Drama Justin Trudeau espouse are the ones our grandfathers gave their blood, sweat, tears and lives for.
