Canada is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the man of steel in a big way with these Canadian Superman coins. The coins are officially licensed by DC Comics and were minted by the Royal Canadian Mint. Different images are splashed across the coins, which have values of $10 all the way to $75.
Even though the Canadian Superman coins have value as currency, they aren't meant to be used as such. Each coin is a collector's item and is priced as such; the $75 coin is going for an impressive $750.00 CAD! The artwork is what makes these coins so special, as it ranges from old school to ultramodern. The coins are available now and are sure to be snatched up by Superman super fans. Here's hoping the Royal Canadian Mint does something special for Wolverine's next big birthday.
