New loonie design unveiled - Sask. Roughriders 100th anniversary

The Royal Canadian Mint and the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Fooball League unveiled a new one dollar coin.

The coin is engraved with the Roughriders' logo and a stylized '100' framed by the years '1910' and '2010'.
It's only the second time a sports team has been celebrated on a Canadian coin - the first was in 2009 with the centennial of the Montreal Canadiens.
The very first Roughrider coin struck will be used in the coin toss at this weekend's Labour Day classic - at which, of course, Saskatchewan will blow the Winnipeg Bluebombers away!

Here in SK we can get these at coin exchanges, and soon they'll dribble out into circulation.

Otherwise:
A five-pack is available from the Mint, with free shipping.

I think we've won the last five Labour Day classics - and this year with the Fantuz flakes, I'm sure they will win again.
If not, there's always the Banjo Bowl!
