I heard that Bluenose and caribou were featured on a 25 cent coin. I'm curious about the details and wondering if it's a collector's item or just a regular coin in circulation.

Interestingly, during the decision-making process, officials had considered using the Bluenose for the 25-cent piece. The Bluenose is a famous Canadian schooner and a symbol of maritime prowess.

Meanwhile, the caribou was being considered for the 5-cent piece. This proposed design would have given the caribou a lesser prominence on Canadian currency.

Both the Bluenose and caribou designs were created by Canadian artist Emmanuel Hanh. Hanh's talent and vision were instrumental in shaping the final designs that were presented to officials for consideration.
