Stores have the right to ask for any type of payment they want... even bananas if they wanted to. However, being legal tender, it MUST be accepted if being used as payment towards a debt.

For those that don't want to wait and/or prefer to not order online, you can pick this up in person at the Mint store... it's on Granville Street between Georgia and Robson.
I already bought a couple last week... and have a few more coming from ordering online.
Edit: LoL, whoops... the store closed this past Sunday.

Probably not all places will recognize this and accept it.. but who cares.
Why would you guys buy it just to spend it?
It's a collector's item.

better yet, argue with a dumbass bank manager that will need to hold your coin for 5 days to verify it

Legal tender only means that if you're using it to repay a DEBT, it MUST be accepted.
When you're at a store, you are not in DEBT. The seller is free to choose whatever type of payment he wants, including refusing legal tender.

This is pretty cool the fact it's selling for face value.
Don't most of the "collectors" coins come out with a face value of say...$50 but sell for like $150? And when you take it to a bank or whatever, it's still worth what the face value is regardless what you paid for it. I think only when selling to a collector is when it actually has better than face value.
Too bad I didn't know about this...I was home a couple weeks ago and the RCM store on Granville was open. I coulda just walked in and picked it up in person. Snap.
