The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) is selling a 2007 50-cent Sterling Silver Golden Forget-Me-Not collector coin in recognition of those touched with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Working in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada, the RCM will donate $1 from every coin sold to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada to help support the Society’s Research Program.
The coin is selling for $38.95 Canadian and can be purchased here.
This is lovely, Liz.
I purchased a Forge-Me-Not as a keepsake for a neighbor whose wife has lived with Alzheimers for many years. I found the coin smaller than anticipated and the accompanying literature to be completely devoid of any reference to “Alzheimers”. I realize that I had no reason to expect other than what I received. I hope my neighbor does not share my small disappointment.
I’m sorry the coin wasn’t as you expected. There is a place on the web site of the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada (where you ordered the coin) for e-mailing them. Why not let them know of your disappointment?
