Hi Guys,
I just wanted to know more about my $2 coin, please correct me if not really a planchet error, and my basis is the planchet was so smooth seems something missing on it, lm mot really sure if falls on PSMD or struck to a forzplanchet? Coz I've seen any letters and different date, and l noticed that all the letters and date was Bold except the initial BT to the reverse and seems different size to the normal one, the Queen seems double, die flaws in obvrse and reverse and polar bear seems double kindly please correct me if there is or l'm wrong so that way l can learn more about error coins, thanks!

Not quit sure what you think is a planchet error, the planchet looks OK to me.
What you have is a worn Toonie from what appears to be a worn die with some Machine Doubling.
Just a Toonie with no visible errors.

Have you guys notice the rims and l can see republica de panama in there and the size of those letters and date correct me if im wrong, coz l can't see any similarities of all 1996 that l have also the type of finish l don't see aluminum in it, if im not mistaken it should be sorounded of aluminum those date and names even the maple leaf and necklace of the queen, and if ever a worn die from foreign countries is it possible to reuse the dies still? But still im wrong its ok atleast l tried my best to learn more..
Thanks Guys!..

I don't know where you are getting aluminum from.
A 1996 Toonie is made from a nickle outer core and a copper inner core.
As previously stated, that is just a regular worn Toonie.
