Post by: Donna on 05-Mar-12, 07:50:09 PM

The Royal Canadian Mint launches a special new coin this week.
The commemorative 25-cent coin has a peregrine falcon on it, and is part of a series highlighting Canadian wildlife. Some of the coins will be coloured. Winnipeggers can get the coin and free illustrated collector card at the Mint Tuesday or Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 520 Lagimodiere Boulevard.

There's also a Raptor series of stamps that came out in the last couple months which includes a Peregrine, Eagle, Osprey, Northern Harrier and a Goshawk.  I got mine from our local PO here.

The coins are ugly. No interest in them. Too stylized like an eskimo carving or something..sorry Inuit must be pc. I wont even save em if I get them back in change.
