Royal Canadian Mint Introduces New 25-Cent Circulation Coin Celebrating Canada's Peregrine Falcon. Ottawa, Ontario, March 7, 2012 – The Royal Canadian Mint is pleased to announce that Canadians can collect a new 2011-dated 25-cent circulation coin celebrating the majestic Peregrine falcon. This new coin, which entered circulation March 5, 2012 joins a one-dollar circulation coin dedicated to the centennial of Parks Canada; a two-dollar coin featuring Canada's Boreal Forest; and 25-cent coins honouring the Wood Bison and the Orca in celebrating Canada's legendary nature. All five of these special circulation coins are inspired by the theme of "our legendary nature;" a core element of Canadian pride and identity.

"The Royal Canadian Mint is proud that its five special commemorative circulation coins, produced at its Winnipeg, Manitoba facility create a permanent tribute to Canada's legendary nature and raise awareness of this vital aspect of our heritage," said Ian E. Bennett, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. "The successful return of the Peregrine falcon to Canadian skies is an inspiring tale of wildlife conservation that the Mint is excited to share on a coin which will circulate from coast to coast to coast."
