Complaint filed with ombudsman of canada post after 3rd level of management fed me the same B.S.

Good for you! Maybe this needs some media attention to grease their wheels...

Can’t get away from this anymore, it’s the age of me first, that’s mine and I’ll sue you. Gone are the days of the handshake honor and your word is good as gold, and a hard day's work for a good wage. I miss thoughts days.

There are still some of us whose word is our bond, earn every penny and say what we mean. We're just getting fewer and farther between...

You have multiple infractions too? Why are all my favourite internet personalities about to be censored?

It's not censoring, it's reminding us of our manners...you can say whatever you want...but it might cost you...me...

Infractions are like Granny rapping you on the knuckles for reaching instead of asking at the supper table...

It stings more when you don't expect it.

I have a guy trustworthy going to Red Deer Sat and through Calgary end of Oct if you want delivery to Edmonton/Lloydminster/Bonniville.

In the ongoing saga of the coins, the minting company now wants 4 times the cost that i was recently quoted to just engrave the coins.

As such they will be coming non engraved, at which time they may or may not be engraved before going to their original homes.

You mean with the numbers? They're brass right, couldn't any keysmith stamp the numbers in for you like a key?

keysmith's are far and few between nowadays, but yes if there is an engraving place that is reasonable in costs locally i will get these done.

Some looking alone what $2-5 per character

Buy a stamp set from Princess Auto and do them yourself

Most jewelers engrave as well...

Yep. Lots of places sell different sizes, you can buy just numbers or letters. Maybe do a -1 instead of R and no letters needed. Sets cheap typically though.

I've punched lots of brass disks with different sizes. Practice, draw a line with a pencil if hand stamping, reset in the mark after every strike. Harder hits not always better. Depending on curve, multiple hits to fill in. But nice results can be had.

Are you sure? We have dozens of them here, i use them and have keys stamped all the time. Might be worth pokeing into.

Anyway, even 10 bucks a coin isn't SO bad - i bet we could do a 'sponsor a coin' drive and get enough people to donate 10 bucks to cover it. I'm in for a coin if it comes to that.

That's effed up. We still have 'em in their own shops here, they send their guys out in vans but they do business in the store.
