Description
The story of the Lucky Loonie is sure to become the stuff of legend in the years to come, passed on from generation to generation: when a Canadian icemaker buried a Loonie deep into centre ice preceding the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt-Lake City, Canada's men's and women's hockey teams went on to capture gold medals. Since 2004, the Royal Canadian Mint has been issuing Lucky Loonies in tribute to that fantastic tale of victory. Now you can purchase the 2014 Lucky Loonie circulation 5-pack for $5-a fun way to do your share in wishing Canada's Olympic Team the best of luck at the 2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia. If you're adding to your collection of Lucky Loonies, then the fine design of the majestic loon fanning its distinct wings in a display of dominance is sure to delight. Or, spread the superstition surrounding this serendipitous coin across our country by putting it into circulation, bringing a little bit of luck into all corners of Canada.
