The Royal Canadian Mint has provided each member of the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic teams with a Lucky Loonie as their own personal good luck charm. At the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002, a loonie brought a stroke of good fortune to Canada when our men's and women's hockey teams skated to victory over a Lucky Loonie buried secretly beneath centre ice. Spy Coin Poppy Quarter from 2004 is still called the odd-looking Canadian quarter with a bright red flower. It was the culprit behind a false espionage warning from the US Defense Department about mysterious coins with radio frequency transmitters This coin was distributed by Tim Hortons. Great Canuck gift!

At the 2002 Olympic Winter Games a great Canadian story emerged when a Loonie was secretly buried at centre ice, covertly urging Canadas mens and womens Olympic hockey teams on to gold performances. Since then, the idea has been catching on, and from coast to coast community sport teams have taken to concealing loonies for luck. The Royal Canadian Mint is proud to celebrate this unique moment in Canadian history, as well as supporting Canadian athletes with a new Lucky Loonie collectible coin.
