This week's we're so proud to congratulate Victoria Heryet on being selected as one of five national finalists in the Royal Canadian Mint's Canada 150 Coin Collection Contest!
Huge congratulations, Victoria, we're keeping our fingers crossed (and voting frequently ;-) hoping that your design does end up in our pockets! :-)
Here's more about the process and contest from Victoria directly ...

I made it to the Finals!
I am HONOURED to have been chosen as one of five national finalists in the "Our Achievements" category of the Royal Canadian Mint's Canada 150 Coin Collection Contest.
The finalists were chosen by an panel of judges including Chris Hadfield, Rick Hansen and Adrienne Clarkson.
The Mint will be issuing a new collection of coins for 2017, Canada's 150th Anniversary. These coins will be in general circulation so MY DESIGN COULD END UP IN YOUR POCKET!
Selection of the coins (five categories) is by YOUR vote!
Please go to Mint.ca/canada150 and place your vote. You can vote as many times as you like between now and October 9th.
My design is called "Coast to Coast" (there are two designs in this category with the same title - mine is the one with the railroad tracks in the centre).
PLEASE VOTE FOR YOUR FAVOURITES and PLEASE PASS THIS ON!
Thanks!
Victoria Heryet
Ladner, BC
