About 75 years after Canadians began making a national pastime out of mistaking the caribou on their quarters for a moose, the Royal Canadian Mint is selling a silver coin that depicts the real deal — alces alces, the king of all deer, the namesake beast of Moose Jaw, Sask., and Moosehead beer. http://www.canada.com/technology/moose+final+struts+onto+Canadian+coin/6632976/story.html
These guys are a bit late. What will be their next news story? The Titanic has sunk, WWII has ended? Man has walked on the Moon? Also the Moose has been on Canadian coinage before...
