<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ericl, post: 279390, member: 2697&quot;]Those geniuses at the Royal Canadian mint have come out with Olympic quarters and a couple of Olympic dollars in honor of the 2010 winter games. IN a sop to us lazy people they&#039;ve put out sets with the entire selection going from this year to 2009, plus a 2010 dollar. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Queen&#039;s face is on all of them. Now as we know, the old bird is 81 years old and may not live to see the 2010 games, much less the 2012 games in London. This raises a conundrum. If, God Forbid, she kicks off this year or next, they will have to issue coins in &#039;08 or &#039;09 with the Charles III&#039;s face on them, leaving a strange anomylous coins with the dead queen&#039;s visage on them on the sets already issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, the question is: will the pre-dated coins be worth lots more, or will they decide to keep chuckie&#039;s face off the money until the Olympics are over?</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course if she lives to be a hundred like her mother, all of this speculation is moot. However, her younger sister died of old age a number of years ago, so who knows? Yeah, I know it&#039;s morbid, but it&#039;s the RCM&#039;s fault not mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
