Wonders of the Universe Series

Pure Silver "$20 for $20" Commemorative Coin Series

A series of commemorative silver coins was introduced in 2011. The coins in this series were sold at their face value of twenty Canadian dollars. They have a specimen finish and are .9999 pure silver, weighing 7.96 grams. The coins were sold by the Mint encapsulated in hard plastic and included a certificate of authenticity. With each release, the Royal Canadian Mint redirected the domain 20for20.ca to the latest coin in the series. In 2012, the third coin in the series became available for order, and a subscription program was introduced allowing customers to purchase the next two coins of the series whose designs had yet to be announced. The first coin of the subscription commemorated the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II and the second commemorated the end of production of the Canadian Penny, both occurring in 2012. Notably, the Diamond Jubilee coin bears a unique reverse design depicting a younger Queen compared to the rest of the coins in the series. A fourth coin was released in 2012 during the holiday season and bore a stylized reindeer on the reverse. The series continued into 2013 with a coin commemorating hockey and another depicting a wolf.

Mint losses on the $20 for $20 program

The $20 for $20 coin program was launched in 2011 as a "low-risk" way to bring in new collectors of Royal Canadian Mint products. It was initially a success as 4.2 million coins were minted and as the Mint booked profits based on estimated seigniorage ($20 face value less the value of its silver content of 0.256 troy ounce) on coins that won't be redeemed for face value. But as the price of silver has dramatically fallen from 2011 to 2016, massive amounts of the $20 coins were returned, for which the Mint must refund the fixed $20 face value in exchange for a coin whose bullion price has dropped since issue. The refunds intensified further amidst public concerns on these coins' exchangeability for face value.[136] [137]

The Mint was therefore stung with "negative seigniorage" losses reversing seigniorage gains booked when those coins were issued. Employee bonuses were cancelled in 2016, the program was discontinued, and the Mint had to write down the value of $65.5-million worth of Winnipeg plant improvements upon recognizing it cannot realize profits on similar programs into the future. The Mint has declared that there's no plan to place an expiry date on redemptions of these coins.
