FYI, I made the trip to the RCM Winnipeg for the coin exchange.

I know that real estate on a tonnie is limited. So choices had to be made.

Missing Canadair CF-5 (Canadian licensed-built Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter) and Canadair CF-104 Starfighter (modified version of the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter) is also a part of Royal Canadian Air Force history.

No, only painted coins are available.

I only received 5 painted ones today. I never asked for 5 unpainted Elsie MacGill loonies. I will give that a go this week again and check.

@loonielewy, I will be getting 5 more this week with my brother and yes I will post it in the finger 4 formation. The 5 today are already in 2x2's, sorry.

The lady on the right did my coin exchange this afternoon. This pic is from the Tourism Winnipeg instagram posting.
