  CANADA PRODUCES INNOVATIVE DOUBLE-HOLOGRAM SNOWBIRD COIN
  

  According to a press release issued Thursday June 29, the Royal
  Canadian Mint has produced a very unusual commemorative coin
  incorporating holograms to honor the Canadian Forces Snowbirds,
  "one of the world's premier aerial demonstration teams and a
  cherished Canadian icon..."
  

  "Produced by the, the 99.99% pure silver five-dollar coin echoes
  the designs of the two Snowbirds stamps. The images are superimposed
  on the coin using an innovative photographic holography technique,
  thus creating a double-hologram of breathtaking beauty. Tilting the
  coin whichever way reveals either the pilot or the aircraft in
  formation."

  [If anyone has a chance to view of these new coins in person,
  please tell us your thoughts. I'm curious to see one myself.
  Have there been other coins with holographic images? -Editor]
