minxybabyHappy Anniversary Terry Fox!! Did anyone get the new loonie yet?
Update
I just ordered 2 online myself. In case you were wondering... each coin is $14.95 (limit of 2 per customer), and $7 for shipping in Canada. For 2 coins after shipping and tax it was $43. Specially packaged in a limited-edition cover, this one-dollar coin was minted at the Winnipeg facility.
I heard on the radio that you can go to the mint here in Ottawa (and Winnipeg) and exchange an old loonie for a Terry Fox loonie (1 for 1, limit of 5), and they are taking donations. Donations they receive through the exchange program go to the Terry Fox Foundation. I am not sure of the condition of the loonies on exchange. Or if they will come in the nice packaging, but I suspect they will not.
