	Royal Canadian Mint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among the Mint's technical innovations was the world's first coloured circulation coin, the 2004 Remembrance Day 25 cents piece, with a red poppy on the reverse.
		Every coin produced that year featured a creature that is native to Canada—a rock dove on the 1 cent, a rabbit on the 5 cents, a mackerel on the 10 cents, a bobcat on the 25 cents, a howling wolf on the 50 cents, and a Canada goose on the dollar.
		In 1973, the usual 25 cents coin reverse was replaced with a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer astride a horse, to celebrate the centennial of the North West Mounted Police.
