Sucks that getting an oz of bullion at the bank is still way cheaper than this.

The purchase of these coins is not just for the metal. They are collector coins, and they are also legal tender. For $20 bucks (no taxes/shipping), you get a coin that's worth, at least, $20 CDN, when you receive it. Even if it doesn't appreciate in collector value, it's still worth 20 Canadian bucks. Buy it on your credit card and at least get some points!

Yes it is that amount for an oz.. but the coin is not a full oz coin.
The mint is no longer a purely gov non profit operation and they are no dummy.. the silver coins of today are not as valuable in terms of metal than the coins of the past.
It cost them about $8 of silver to make a $20 tender coin. Quote:

you're buying a $20 coin for $20.
a 1oz silver coin is face value $5, so lets say one day silver tanks, your coin may only be worth $5 while this coin will always be worth at least $20.
not saying its an investment coin but you're not losing anything by owning them either.

The good thing is that you didn't really spend anything on them. You just did a swap. You're not out any money, and you can spend your $20 coin anytime. Although legal tender, businesses may not take it, but you can always swap it at the bank. If you decide to keep it, it may appreciate in collector value.

I ordered three, and I know why. 
Code wouldn't work for me, but used lower case "g" and it worked.
