Hi guys

Look at the pics below...What is the extra "bar" beside the Olympic sign...?
Or is that normal...?

In my opinion, I think that that is a gas bubble that occurred in the plating process.

It says, "TM/MC", meaning Trade Mark/Marque de Commerce. Since the Olympics need to indicate that their 5 circles are a trademark, and being that signage in Canada is mostly bilingual (English and French), this appears on many logos on the market. Oddly enough, this doesn't appears far above the 5 rings on the 2010 Inukshuk dollar. On the 2004 dollar it's just indicate by an encircled M.
