Do any of my Canadian brethren know where the RCM gets the blanks for the silver maples? Secondly, does anyone know where the silver comes from that makes the blanks? Sorry if this has already been discussed elsewhere...
There are several (or many - not sure the numbers) silver mines in Canada. So I imagine its supplied domestically, like the US does with Eagles.
And he that hath lyberte ought to kepe hit wel / For nothyng is better than lyberte / For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world. -Caxton's edition of Aesop's Fables, 1484
