2017 CANADIAN $2 DANCE OF THE SPIRITS COLOURED TOONIE, GLOW-IN-THE-DARK COIN (BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED) 

This 2017 $2 Canadian Coin was the World's First Circulating Glow-In-The-Dark COIN! It was created by the Royal Canadian Mint in celebration of Canada's 150th birthday (1867-2017).

This is a Royal Canadian Mint first time issue of a "glow in the dark" coin, and it captured the beauty of the famous Canadian Northern Lights in a most unique way. The Royal Canadian Mint has unveiled what it described as the world’s first glow-in-the-dark coin in circulation. The specially designed two-dollar coin, or toonie, as it’s known in Canada, features two people paddling in a canoe as the northern lights – vivid in green and blue – dance high above them. When the coin is put in the dark, the aurora borealis glows softly, thanks to a new ink formulation that contains luminescent material.

The coin, part of a collection created to mark the 150th anniversary of Canada’s confederation, also ranks as the world’s first coloured bimetallic coin, said a mint spokesperson. “Only the core of the $2 coin is coloured and the glow effect makes the aurora borealis part of the design look lifelike,” said Alex Reeves.
