The Canadian military coin designer and manufacturer provides a soft location for the Pictou County Military Heritage Museum.

This is an important part of Rod McLeod's extensive work and can be found at the museum in Westville.

The museum's collection is very extensive, in the museum, and now you can find more than 1,500 different military coins.

McLeod's first decision to donate a coin to the Westville Museum was based on a deep admiration for the work done there and many exhibits were shown.
McLeod said. He came one day, the day the armed forces day, the museum was here to show, the students came here, the backup unit here, he was seeing my gob smacked. He was here and upstairs to see the depth, uniforms impressive,

He pointed out that the few uniforms on display were the most difficult uniform in Canada, "he said," he was a creaky tanker, "said McLeod. "No one would ask the governor." Can you wear uniforms after you finish your work? "So, for me, that's great.

McLeod said: "I began to collect coins three or four years ago, and Joyce is also eager to show them"
McLeod said with a smile: "Everyone in the military is packed." "If there is any glow, they will like it. Vince is guilty, and I am so, who is best to help show coins?
The museum collects coins to run a series of ends. Some are commemorative activities, such as Vimy Ridge Coin, as well as challenge coins, granting military members a complete job. Some represent various military units in the garrison across the country.

McLeod explained that if you join a group, then after taking the basic training, you can get one of these coins, used as a memorial,
Coins represent squadron anniversary, far more than Moose Jaw, Sask. And Cold Lake, Alta.
McLeod's collection of another prominent type of coin is the challenge of coins - which is traditionally behind the Canadian military.

McLeod said that there is a process called compaction, if we go to the bar, I arrive at my pocket, put a coin in the bar, you'd better have your coin, or you will have to pay my drink. "But if I put my coin on the table and you took you, then I had to have a drink, which is why it was called a challenge coin.
McLeod pointed out that the concept of challenging coins has been polished to most military groups that have their own challenge coins, and each commander has his own coins.

"If you go into the military's office, you will see that these coins are collected on their credit cards and are collected from those people." "For the Canadian Armed Forces chief of staff, the defense minister, He has already completed the coin since Xilier, and if they were on the battlefield, they would hand them over and they saw a soldier doing it better.

McLeod said he would eventually collect the museum of war in Ottawa, and a military museum in Calgary, but now it is the largest coin collection in his country. "

On the other hand, McLeod's praise for the Westville Museum is that he emphasizes that everyone in the area believes in Vince and the museum, which is a very significant thing that makes them cherish Family heirloom and public sharing.
