Lucky Loonie PLUS three Canadian Winter Olympic Medals Moments 25-cent (quarters) coloured coins.
As an Official Supporter of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, the Royal Canadian Mint has produced limited mintage collector coins and sets. To create the most extensive Winter Games Coin Program possible, the Mint asked Canadians to share their favourite Winter Olympic Medals Moments. More than 100 Top Winter Olympic Medals Moments were whittled down to 10 by a jury. From there, Canadians voted on their top three Canadian Olympic medals. This set celebrates these favourite three Canadian Winter Olympic Medals Moments.
Canada's traditional* uncirculated coin sets have long been a popular starting point for new collections - but this special edition set is expected to be especially popular since it also includes the Vancouver 2010 Lucky Loonie PLUS three Canadian Winter Olympic Medals Moments 25-cent (quarters) coloured coins.
