poppy coin

I went to Blue Mountain again, from Friday to Sunday.. It was fun. We played mini-golf. Of the 5 members of my family who played (including myself), I got 2nd place.

Heard of the poppy coin? It's a new $0.25 coin in circulation, quite similar to the predecessor, but now with a red poppy in the middle. The poppy is a type of flower, which symbolises Canada's effort in World War II. It's the first circulated coloured coin, in the world. Ever. I got one. Unfortunately it has a small defect (which will probably be fixed by the Royal Canadian Mint in it's next printing of coins), where the red "permanent" ink sort of rubs off. Underneath the red ink there's still an engraved poppy, it's just harder to see.
