| Additional information |
Inuit Nunangat — the Inuit homeland encompassing the Arctic lands, waters, and ice — gained formal recognition in Canadian policy through the 2019 Inuit Nunangat Policy, making it one of the more recently codified geographic and political designations to appear on circulating Canadian coinage. The Royal Canadian Mint has issued colourized toonie variants with some regularity since the early 2000s, though most enter collections directly rather than circulation, the colour printing process being incompatible with coin-handling machinery.
