The 2017 Canadian 2 dollar coin made for the 150th anniversary of Confederation is known as the “Dance of the Spirits” toonie. Designed by Timothy Hsia, it features a vivid depiction of two paddlers gliding on a calm lake under the shimmering Northern Lights, which are colored in bright blue and green hues. This coin is notable for being the world’s first glow-in-the-dark circulating coin, with special luminescent ink that makes the Aurora Borealis design glow brightly when the lights are off. The coin’s outer ring is made of three-ply nickel-plated steel, and the inner core is three-ply brass-plated aluminum bronze, weighing approximately 6.99 grams. Approximately three million of these coins were released into circulation to mark Canada’s 150th birthday, making it both a functional currency and a collectible piece of art celebrating Canadian natural wonders and heritage.
