Comments

The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics $75 gold coins were sold individually or in sets of three coins. The three different sets offered were Canadian Wildlife, Canadian Emblems and Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger)
These three words, comprising the motto of the Olympic movement, encourage the athlete in all of us to give our best during competition, and to view this effort as its own victory.

The only Olympic Winter Games held in Canada was in 1988,in the city of Calgary, Alberta. In 2010, Canada will proudly host the XXI Olympic Winter Games, this time in Vancouver, British Columbia.
