Tomorrow the Royal Canadian mint releases the Vancouver 2010 Lucky Loonie. You can wait to get one in your change, or you can get them at RBC branches and participating Petro Canada location.
Don't forget to get one for you collector's card. I think we need 7-8 of them. I think I'll just go to the bank, rather than trying to find them in my change. It could take forever.
The story of the Lucky Loonie began at the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The icemaker, a Canadian, Trent Evans, buried a loonie under the centre ice. Both the Canadian men's and women's ice hockey teams went on to win gold.
