Special Set 2010 "Olympic Moments"

[Kai]

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 Olympic Winter Moments. More than 100 Top Olympic Winter Moments were whittled down to 10 by a jury. From there, Canadians voted on their top three. This set celebrates these favourite three Canadian 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 25-cent Canadian Winter Olympic Moments coloured coins.

Whether acquired in this set or in circulation, it’s important to know coloured Moments coins are scarce.

Miss out on this ultimate Olympic Winter Games souvenir and the only way to own all three coloured coins becomes challenging. That’s right – for each of the three Moments coins, 22 million coins will enter circulation. BUT of those 22 million coins, only 3 million will be in colour – and each one will only be found, by chance, in random rolls distributed throughout this great nation.

Don’t be disappointed! Get your 2010 Special Edition Uncirculated Set and be guaranteed to own all 3 coloured Moments coins!

* Traditional Loon Dollar and 25-cent Caribou coin not included.
