ACanadian celebration of mind, body and will

One of Canada's most popular sports, curling was first played at the Chamonix 1924 Olympic Winter Games in France, and returned to the Nagano 1998 OlympicWinter Games in Japan. The game is played with two teams, each takingturns pushing 19.1 kilogram stones towards a series of concentric circles. The object is to get the stones as close to the centre of the rings as possible. The Canadian women's team, making its official debut at Nagano, won gold while the men captured a silver medal. More recently, Canada struck gold again at the Torino 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Italy, with a victory by the men's team.

From 2007 to 2010, fifteen twenty-five cent coins were issued to celebrate the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. The series include ten winter sports designs, two paralympic special issues and three designs that represent previous Canadian Winter Olympics medals. Also, two Lucky Loon were issued as a good luck symbol to support canadian athletes in 2008 and 2010.
