Dominion Decimals – Canadian Decimal Coinage from 1867 to 1907

Rob Turner’s new book, Dominion Decimals, Canadian Decimal Coinage from 1867 to 1907, provides historical context and reasons for the existence of coins issued during this period .This book sets the stage for the new dominion’s government and its workings, and its relationship with the United Kingdom. It discusses various social, and economic events in the country, with emphasis on industry, transportation, banking, and financial policies implemented by the governments of the time and discusses the business of coinage itself. The hardcover, 338-page, book is a treasure trove of information around early Canadian decimal coinage. All proceeds on sales go to the RCNA, published through a grant from the J.
