At the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002, a loonie brought a stroke of good fortune to Canada when our men's and women's hockey teams skated to victory over a Lucky Loonie buried secretly beneath centre ice.
The Royal Canadian Mint is proud to issue this specially designed Lucky Loonie to celebrate an Olympic legend, and to wish our Canadian athletes the very best of luck this summer 2004 in Athens, Greece
