Shouldn't Noah and his sons be riding that Pachyrhinosaurus? Not very historical... :P

8O As someone who likes dinosaurs, glow in the dark things, money, while hating pennies, well this settles it. I officially love Canada. Also, Pachyrhinosaurus has long been one of my favorite ceratopsians.

Vigilans, you silly. Everyone knows Noah rode a Chasmosaurus.

Oh wait, the palaeontologists are saying there's no such thing. Gaa! Faith crisis!

Go Canada!

Whatev'. I'm not interested in collecting coins, just spending 'em. :)
And there should be a CAVEMAN riding on that dinosaur. That would be more historically accurate than Noah or Jesus. :lol:

I'd put Thor, or Zeus. With an Aztec design in the background.

I love the fact that they had the loonie and the twoonie... Now... something that is so ridiculous that it is absolutely awesome!

Why can't the US do something cool like glow in the dark dinosaur quarters?

I wonder if I find one of those places you swap US money for foreign money...if I could get some. Those are so freaky, they are cool!

Maybe ebay has 'em

Oh my God that's awesome!!

I love it. Canada always have the best coins. I remember seeing one with a Parasaurolophus on it once. :cheers:
