Canada's "Think Pink" Quarter

How cool is this? Jeff and I just came across a Canadian quarter with the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon printed on it, and I, of course, had to investigate. I had to steal this picture from the CBC (sorry, please don't sue me) because my camera wouldn't pick up such small details, but I just had to share it, especially because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, both in the US and Canada.

These "Think Pink" quarters have actually been in circulation for a few years already (since 2006), so it's pretty ironic that we came across one for the first time this particular month.
