Commemorative Set of Quarters from 2000

"The Entry into the Third Millennium" 25 cents 2000 The perfect gift for someone born at the Turn of the Century. Great gift for any celebration of an event in the year 2000. The selected 12 designs were made to express Canadians hopes for the new millenium. While the 1999 coins were labeled with their month of issue, the 2000 coins were labeled with the relevant theme. Design: This 12 coin set anticipates the future in the 21st Century, showing Canada’s potential. The 12 themes are: Pride, Ingenuity, Achievement, Health, Natural Legacy, Harmony, Celebration, Family, Wisdom, Creativity, Freedom, Community. To celebrate the new millennium, Canada created a two year circulating commemorative program that would be conducted in two parts (one in 1999 and one in 2000). Each program released 12 quarters per year (1 per month) and each featured a unique design. 1999 features designs representative of Canada's past. In an open design contest called “Create a Centsation” over 33,000 designs were submitted for consideration. 2000 features designs representative of Canada's dreams for a new millennium. A second design contest was held and over 66,000 designs were submitted for consideration. Includes the plastic case seen in the photos. The coins you see are the exact coins you are buying. These came out of our Father's collection. We also have 2 sets of the 1999 quarters available.
