The women's one is out early according to this news clip...
Up to 22 million 25-cent coins celebrating the men's hockey gold medal at Salt Lake City in 2002 are now in circulation. In a unique twist, three million of these coins were produced in brilliant colour and inserted randomly into circulation coin rolls.
The coins are available exclusively at RBC branches and participating Petro-Canada locations.
Canadians can also look for these special coins in their change. Participating Petro-Canada locations will also sell sport cards, containing a uniquely painted version of the coin for $7.95.
The men's hockey gold medal at Salt Lake City in 2002 was voted by fans as the No. 1 Canadian Olympic Winter Games Moment of all time - out of 10 moments - in an online contest hosted earlier this year by the Mint and Canada's Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium. The top three moments will be featured on 25-cent coins. Coming in at No. 2 was the Canadian women's hockey gold medal at Salt Lake City 2002, followed by Cindy Klassen at No. 3 and her five long track speed skating medals at Turin 2006.
The coins marking these two moments will be launched into circulation on November 17, 2009, and January 5, 2010, respectively
