Silver Sales at the Royal Canadian Mint in the 2nd Quarter 2016

Sales of Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins and bars set a record in 2015 with 34,300,000 ounces sold, an increase of 5,200,000 ounces, or 18% from 2014’s then record sales.

Silver sales at the Royal Canadian Mint in 2015, while a record, were curbed by a lack of products to sell as Canadian Silver Maple Leaf coins and ten ounce silver bars were sold out for a few months during the year.

The Royal Canadian Mint noted in its first quarter 2016 report: “Sales of silver bullion have been driven for several quarters by demand that exceeds supply in North America and Europe.”

Royal Canadian Mint Ups Production

In order to avoid any shortage in 2016, the Canadian Mint noted in its first quarter 2016 report in reference to the Canadian Mint’s circulation coinage system:

“During the quarter, the Mint produced 138.4 million coins compared to 64.3 million in the first quarter of 2015. The increased production is to rebuild inventories to target levels, for higher demand anticipated over the summer and holidays later in the year. The efficient management of the coinage system that ensures no shortages of coins is achieved.

It seems the Canadian Mint is acutely aware of the issues that shortages create and we would imagine that they are also better prepared for increased silver bullion demand in 2016. The drop off in sales at the Royal Canadian Mint in the second quarter mirrored the decline in sales at the U.S. Mint in the second quarter. Sales at the U.S. Mint declined significantly in July and August.

Since the Canadian Mint second quarter report only covers sales through June we do not know what the Canadian Mint sales were in July and August. The Canadian Mint did however indicate that silver sales SINCE June 23, 2016 (the date of the Brexit vote) did not increase.

“The result of the Brexit vote is expected to continue to cause uncertainty and increase volatility
in the financial and precious metals markets. Both gold and silver metal prices jumped
significantly after the vote, but have not yet translated into a material increase in bullion
demand.”
