Collector Coin Card available at Mint.ca.
Every once in a while the nice people at the Canadian Mint offer free collector cards. The problem is usually finding them on the website. The link above will take you directly to web form to order one a collection card for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic coins.
I was complaining to a coworker the other day about stock sites. They seem to have not caught on to what the web is good at, giving data to people in useful ways. For example stock charts. Most sites have the standard 3 month, 6 month and year charts. They are pretty static and down right old school. Not much different then what gets printed in a paper. While complaining I said this is an area the Google would probably do right. They have in the past changed how users interface with maps, email and calendars. Well my wish has been granted in Google Finance which features the very slick interfaces you would expect form a Google product.
Every once in a while the Canadian Mint comes out with a nice collector card to a circulation coin set they are about to release. There are limited numbers so you have to act quick if you here about it. Right now it is the Vacouver 2010 card but there are none left. Regardless here is the link for future reference.
You might think the title is just to get your attention but it is actually true. In Canada if a bank account is declared inactive then the money is transfered to the Bank of Canada for safe keeping. All the information for the bank account is recorded (name, location, branch and date) and the information can be searched online via the Bank of Canada site. I found this site years ago and a recent article in MoneySense Magazine reminded me of it. I suggest you give it a try. My name turned up nothing but I found a few accounts listed under relatives. I hope they consider my email about it there Christmas gift.
