Even though my dad served on the CCAC for many years, as a proud Lions Club member I must agree with the CFA selections; obverse #2 and reverse #5-B. These show what Lions stand for – family, World service, and longevity of service. I attended a Lions club meeting this evening where one of the attendees was celebrating 55 years of service as a Lion. Lion Ted Reiver

In reply to Michael chan. I would certainly be interested in purchasing one of the once in a lifetime Lions Clubs coins when they are available.

I am sure LCI loves to have a coin made at each country. It is up to each of the country to get that going. Please do not fault LCI.

Hi Folks from Down Under
I would like to see the Lions Logo on one side and Melvin Jones on the other side of the coin.

I started the ball rolling for a coin to be struck in Australia about three years ago, when I spoke to the Minister in charge of the Mint at the time, Bernie Rippoll. He took it to cabinet, and came back to me to say that it met their criteria to have a coin struck recognising the work that Lions have done in Australia.

I then passed the information on to my District Governor at the time, “Kaye Smith” and she took it to the Multiple Council for their consideration, which was approved, I then handed everything over to now PDG Kaye to forward on to the MD 201 Council to follow through.

Lions worldwide do a fantastic job in their communities, saving the various governments millions, if not billions of dollars, and I see this as a way of recognising the work we as Lions do.

Cheers
Lion John Matheson

Ed – Perhaps a question better asked of the RCM…

In reply to Larry Edwards. What about we Canadian Lions. Are we not part of this International organization as well? Lets not just solely concentrate on the USA but the other 210 countries as well.

I like #2 front and #1 back. Whatever is selected it is another opportunity to share with all the vale provide for 100 years of Lions service. I would hope thta this helps the USA with the ability to attract more potential members.

In reply to Lion Alan Garson. I also like LC-R-09 but I still prefer 06. I look forward to the time when I will be able to purchase the Canadian version.. Do we have any idea what these coins will cost to produce yet and when they might be available?

I would prefer LC-0-09 for the obverse – it includes the Lions logo and motto;
and LC – R – 05B for the reverse for the “100 years of service.
both of clean lines and are very attractive.
