Since 1967, Canada has produced Commemorative Quarters, but in recent years they have been producing them fast and furious, with as many as 12 new designs every year!

This video attempts to showcase all the commemorative quarters produced into circulation to date, plus their coloured variants and errors. Not only is it a walk down memory lane, but I try to bring in some history and context to each commemorative issue. I try to add some humour to it all as well.

If you are interested in a particular year or issue, I will add timestamps below for each clip.
