The Summit Series toonie was released as part of Canada's broader effort to mark the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification cycle and national athletic achievement programs — the Royal Canadian Mint having developed selective color application on bimetallic planchets as a production technique refined over several prior commemorative runs. Color on circulation-format bimetallics presents adhesion challenges that earlier RCM issues occasionally suffered from, making production consistency a genuine technical concern rather than a trivial one.
