GIVING A TOTAL OF 17 CIRCULATING OLYMPIC COINS TO THE PROGRAM - A DEFINITE BOON TO THE COLLECTOR / NUMISMATIST !
THE QUARTER PROGRAM TO DATE DOES NOT HAVE 'D.G. REGINA' ON THE OBVERSE, THEREFORE CALLED 'GODLESS CIRCULATION COINS'. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SPACE ISSUE, RATHER THAN ANYTHING ELSE. THEY MOVED 'CANADA' TO THE OBVERSE, AND INCLUDED THE 2010 OLYMPIC LOGO; THUS LEAVING NOMORE ROOM. A NORMAL CDNOBVERSE FOR QUEEN ELIZABETH THE 2ND, SHOWS: 'ELIZABETH II D. G. REGINA' WHICH MEANS'Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, Queen'.
