The Royal Canadian Mint has issued the final coin in its Vancouver 2010 circulation coin program, the 25-cent coin featuring the sport of ice sledge hockey.

The coin was launched outside of the Vancouver Public Library, where the Mint is displaying the Vancouver 2010 athlete medals for the duration of the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games.

 

"Three years ago, the Mint launched the most extensive circulation coin program ever developed for the Olympic and Paralympic Games," said Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. "We were the first mint in the world to celebrate the Paralympic Games on circulation coins, therefore we could not be more proud to complete our program with the ice sledge hockey coin."

With the release of the 2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollars only one day away (March 23, 2010), the United States Mint has started advertising their availability in mailed brochures, and the coins are already starting to appear in the secondary market on sites like eBay.

For the latter, auctions found on eBay are, of course, pre-selling the coins. No individual has them. Shipment notices indicate they will only be available to winning bidders after the coins are received from the United States Mint.

At this time, only a handful of sold auctions have featured the Boy Scouts Commemorative Coins. The first one premiered last month. However, since then, several more have been added, bringing the number of auctions to over the dozen mark.
