Got there and while we waited outside snapped these few pics.... Paid 5.50 or so for the boy and I to take the "tour".

 

My definition of tour as it relates to the RCM is a short guided walk that eventually leads you to the "boutique" or sales area.

 

The tour was LAME LAME LAME!!!!! There was no one working. They must have been on shut down or on a maintenance week....they did have a few piles of gold and silver laying where you could see them but the only machines operating were the cash register to get in and the registers at the shop (which you could not enter unless you took the tour). No cameras permitted inside for security reasons. Security of what?

 

I did learn that the only coins that are minted at the Ottawa facility are the "collector" coins made from bullion. The rest of the coinage is minted in Winnepeg (I think she said). My boy was not amused that I forced him to let me take the quarter pictures.

 

We drove around Ottawa a bit afterwards and I am convinced that nearly the entire city smokes and that they are almost always on a smoke break outside. lol.

Nice pictures, goose, did you drive your own car up there (the one pictured)? 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

I think that's the car he LEFT in! Probably went a little postal when he

realized the tour was lame. gossip.gif

I love classic stone architecture. Nice pics Goose.

 

Hays, good to see you are back. I was beginning to wonder where you went.

 

Yeah, missed you around. Sick? Vacation? Computer failure?

Thanks guys, nice to be missed.

 

I had to go out of town the past couple of weekends then came back to

a mountain of work. I have to do the same this weekend too. I hate it

when life gets in the way of this hobby and cutting up with you all.

Oh, I did buy a small 95c sticker of the Canadian Flag for my golf car and a small Gold Maple replica PIN for my hat that the Lodge owner gave us this year.
