In celebration of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, the Canadian Mint is releasing a quarter with a snowboarder on it.
“With two years to go until 2010, the Mint is delighted to be launching its second wave of circulation coins to commemorate the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games,” said Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. “Featuring the dynamic and energetic sport of snowboarding is a fantastic way to kick off 2008.”
Seems like snowboarding would have at least been worth a Loonie, huh? Then again, they’re probably saving those for curling.
