The new ones you buy from the Post Office in Canada state the purity on the packaging. By the way, they are not all "Maple Leafs". Now and in the past they have a whole assortment of pictures on them. Do your research and know what you want before you buy. It might just be easier to buy some silver wire.

The Maple Leaf coins are 99.99%, and IIRC the description for those Olympic coins said they were too. Don't think the rest are though, ISTR that the more common Canadian coins are actually magnetic... Maybe not anymore, I don't know.
