According to the Mint's website, "The Currency Act and The Canadian Criminal Code clearly state that no person shall melt down, break up or use otherwise than as currency any coin that is legal tender in Canada."
It's moronic stuff like this that makes me wonder about my fellow sports fans. Does this guy have a schtick like Dunlop or Moon? With the pic and all I think he might be serious.
If you're that psychotically fanatical move to Pakistan and find a Cricket team to cheer for. I hear there is violence between fans quite frequently and players get assassinated for poor performance.
Sounds more on par for a fan of your intelligence and class.

Serious question, what teams do you cheer for? I don't think I've ever actually read it anywhere here.....
I got a loonie coin yesterday which commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. As a good Stampeder fan, I dealt with it accordingly:
I could care less who has a coin, honestly. IMO they're like commemorative stamps.
Besides, the rider tims cards are much more useful than the rider loonies.
You have to admit tho, as a fan base, Rider Fan is everywhere. To create a coin to cater to them makes sense from Left Coast to Right Coast. No matter where in Canada you look, there's hundreds of Rider Fan that love this idea.
I still don't like them, but I see why it was done.
Doesn't change the fact they have 3 grey cup wins in 100 years.
Or the fact they lost last years Grey Cup in the last second because of a stupid penalty
Or the fact they lost last week to the lowly Bombers and only managed 2 points
Or the fact they are 6-4 while Calgary is 9-1.
Or the fact that Calgary beat them by 20 points earlier in the season
I for one, am not surprised at all that if this was to be done it was Howie who would do it. I think this is sports fanaticism at its finest and fully endorse this behaviour.
Now, I noticed theres some disgusting Green Wine at my local liquor store entitled "Rider Pride." I'm not adventurous enough, nor naive enough to purchase this, let alone actually try some of this insipid swill. My question is:
Do you get a free hat if you buy a bottle of 'Rider Pride' wine with 'Rider loonies? If so, is this hat made of a popular melon?

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
I don't get it why do people make all these 13th man jokes?
I am confused..

The humourously ironic twist of a fanbase that thought themselves so awesome, that they were the difference maker and made signs and paraded around as "The 13th Man":
... when in fact it was a different 13th man that cost them the Grey Cup:
I felt a little ashamed working that game, go up get my float for the event, oh look shiny loonies. Crack the roll, damnit they are all riders loonies. all night it's all I had for change to give out. I'm pretty sure I can never use that apron again now.
*I did keep a couple was almost tempted to bring a roll home just to sell to people who cant find them.
