President and Chief Executive Officer, Royal Canadian Mint

I'm going to let Mr. Neville speak to it, because that's a tough question.

I don't think our experience at the Mint with Tim Hortons and the poppy coin was a universal success. We had problems and we've learned some lessons as a result. We will continue to explore the production of coloured coins. We did it again with the breast cancer coin, which I don't think had the same distribution problems and issues as the Tim Hortons poppy coin.

So I take your point. I think we have learned some lessons as a result of the experience with Tim Hortons.

Do you want to add something?
