OK these are super-cool. I don't carry too much cash/change these days but will definitely be keeping an eye open now.

On September 28, 1972, 15 million Canadians sat glued to their television and radio sets. From coast to coast to coast, Canadians tuned into what would become one of the most celebrated games⁠—and goals—⁠in hockey history.

“Henderson has scored for Canada!”

Those five words—broadcast all the way from Moscow—echoed across the country and caused a nation-wide sensation. Canada had just won the Summit Series.

Nice idea. Will be on lookout for 1.

Those are nice looking! I love the Red & White, obviously, and the bits of black in the hockey gear really pops. It looks great. If I ever come across these specialized releases of coins in mint condition (soon after release) I tend to keep them and store them in Coin Holders.

And this is why I say I love my change... because it's the only way I save money! :P

Man, that is cool. Hope I can get one in my change!

I couldn't resist... saw this thread on Sunday and ordered 2 rolls.

Very cool, they definitely have a sharp design. Might order a roll for my daughter who collects coins.
