Can anyone point to where the CAN GOV asserts this is true, on a web site, or anywhere else? Maples are pure gold (like say Aussie kangaroos), so they are ultra soft, unlike say Kruggerands which have some copper or something in them so they weather a bit better. I have a pure gold aussie "Kangaroo" (it was brand new) and it has the shit beaten out of it from 5-10 minutes of handling outside the plastic cover. Anyway, can anyone supply any verification of this, I'd be fascinated to know.
