combination that has produced some of the most sought-after, talked-about coins. And the proof lies in
this elite set. The 2018 State-of-the-Art set is an elite sampling of cutting-edge technologies and
innovations that help set our coins apart. But it, too, marks a Mint first: this is the first set to feature
one coin from each business line—numismatics, bullion, Canadian and foreign circulation—all proudly
struck at our facilities.
