Did you know 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of Parks Canada? To commemorate the occasion, the Royal Canadian Mint has released a series of Legendary Nature coins. If you've been keeping an eye on your money, you may have noticed the Wood Bison quarter, which went into circulation in January. This month, the Orca quarter has been put into circulation, and the Peregrine Falcon is featured on next month's quarter. There is also a Park Canada loonie and Boreal Forest toonie.On their Facebook page, the Royal Canadian Mint is giving out free collector cards to hold the coins. To get yours, just click on the "Get your collector card" tab on the page and enter your mailing information. Your card should arrive shortly afterwards.
There's a limit of one collector card per household, and it should be noted that the coins are not included (you'll have to look around in your change for those!).
Thanks to MrDisco in the forums for the heads up!
