World's largest 99.999% pure gold coin showcased by the Royal Canadian Mint

TORONTO, June 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Today marks the official opening of TD's new Foreign Exchange Centre. To build on this excitement, the Royal Canadian Mint was on hand to showcase the world's largest pure gold coin at the Centre's ribbon-cutting ceremony located in the TD Centre at 55 King Street West, Concourse Level 1, at the corner of King and Bay Streets in Toronto.

The Foreign Exchange Centre will offer TD customers a convenient way to exchange their money. Having a stand-alone location specializing in the sale of foreign cash and related products makes it easier for customers to meet their currency exchange and travel needs.

"TD Securities and TD Canada Trust continually look to raise the bar in finding innovative ways to delight our customers and we're happy to launch the new Foreign Exchange Centre together," says Martine Irman, Vice Chair of TD Securities, Senior Vice President, TD Bank Group.

TD strives to provide an exceptional customer experience by offering a full suite of services. "Whether you're just going across the border or traveling abroad, financial peace of mind always makes for a better trip, and we're pleased to offer another convenient way to help our customers prepare for those occasions," says Alec Morley, Senior Vice President, Greater Toronto Area Region, TD Canada Trust.

The Foreign Exchange Centre will maintain a broad selection of currencies and precious metals to offer immediate fulfillment of most cash orders to walk-in clients.

In addition to holding over 40 foreign currencies, the Foreign Exchange Centre will provide:

• Precious metals onsite
• American Express Travellers Cheques
• TD Insurance Travel Medical Insurance
• TD Travel Credit Cards

TD executives and guests were on hand at the Centre to celebrate this new service offering.
