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.
The Royal Canadian Mint supports Canada's Olympic athletes and is proud to celebrate their skill, drive and determination with a special edition Lucky Loonie. Features the Canadian Olympic Committee Logo, and struck in standard "loon" aureate (nickel electro-plated with bronze).
