Hey all you Pink Ribbon Review readers — have you seen the Royal Canadian Mint’s 25-Cent Breast Cancer Circulation Coin?
Thirty million of these coins entered into circulation beginning on April 1, 2006. Seriously … does anyone have one? Does anyone want to send me one??
I did some research. This is an award winning coin:
- It recently received the “Most Technologically Advanced Circulation Coin Award” (August 2008) from the Mint Directors Conference.
- It was previously recognized as the “Best New Coin” (May 2007) by the International Association of Currency Affairs.
Gotta love it. A pink ribbon coin. LOVE it.

Quite a few of these have passed through my wallet. I like them. We have been doing this to our coins for a while now here in Canada. We had a lovely one with a poppy in the centre to honour the veterans.
Now, not only is our paper colourful, so are our coins!

Marijke, let me know if you come across another one, would ya? I might have to come up there and rummage through your wallet if you hold out on me!
