So does this mean that curling has finally arrived as a sport in Canada?
It's one of Canada's favourite winter time past times, attracts thousands to curling clubs each year and has finally entered the roster of Olympic sports.
In fact it’s a sport that caused the CBC no shortage of trouble a few years back when they messed with the schedule and the sport has become the programming darling of TSN, which has even gone so far as to bump European Union Soccer Federation matches from their usual mid day slot to the darker reaches of night time programming.
And now curling has a coin to call its own.
Starting tomorrow, Petro Canada stations will be the exclusive distributor for the latest creations of the Royal Canadian Mint. They will be selling exclusive Vancouver 2010 coin sport cards, all designed to hold coins representing sports of the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics.
The first of the 25-cent circulation coin and collector cards out of the box will depict the popular sport of curling. By the time the final coin jingles in a pocket, 350 million will have been put into ciruclation featuring 17 different designs.
They’ll probably prove to be of interest to the large and growing curling community, so we can only urge you to HURRY, HURRY, HURRY to your local Petro Can and get one to take back to the HOUSE.
