in 1937, there was a pressing demand for 1¢, 10¢, and 25¢ coins, but as the royal canadian mint was waiting for new tools and matrices to arrive from the royal mint, the decision was made to strike coins dated 1936, but a dot would be added in the area near the date to indicate that the coins were struck in 1937. the 1¢ and 10¢ coins with the dot are excessively rare, so rare in fact that only four or five specimens are known. in 2004, a "dot cent", as they are sometimes called, sold at auction for $207,000. the one cent coin was sold again in the canadiana sale for $400,000 while an example of the ten cent piece with the dot sold for $184,000. the 25¢ coin, while not in the same class with the cent and ten cent piece, is still a very difficult coin to find.
