I got a similar kind of coin one time at a tourist trap in Canada. It was a $1 coin and when I finally looked at it, I found that it was only good for that City and for a limited time. So basically I had to go back there immediately if I wanted to use that dollar. A tourist trap ripoff sanctioned by the government.
Many people pick out their grave stone epitaph before death (obviously). This is hardly a BIoN fact. Next, it will state Jefferson wrote out a will before he died!

Although it has been four years since its minting, is it still rare in Maple Leaf Country to find such a coin?

At least he didn’t write his own epithet.

Jefferson’s epitaph is not as well known as Robert Louis Stevenson’s.

Wonder if they have any New Fortune Cookies with the winning numbers ?

I believe coins should feature real life heroes instead of fake fictional ones.

Those cookies were in one of the Carolinas, and they only hit 5 numbers, but got a million each.

A lot of people write their own epitaphs.

What’s so big about Jefferson writing his own epitaph? Trump has too.

Jefferson’s biggest achievement was as founder of the University of Virginia on his tombstone.

I’d love one of those coins!

I’ll bet that Thomas Jefferson was not the only person to write their own epitaph!

In Canada, does Superman say Eh, Eh, and away?

The Canadian mint lost money on the coins. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/royal-canadian-mint-silver-superman-numismatics-1.4119986

Benjamin Franklin also wrote his own epitaph as did quite a few celebrities
