Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger) About: The above three words, comprising the motto of the Olympic movement, encourage the athlete in all of us to give our best duringcompetition, and to view this effort as its own victory. The Olympic Games had a 3,000-year history of bringing people together to give their best in competition. The Winter Games are the cold-weather complement to the original Olympic Summer Games. Held every four years, the Olympic Winter Games feature winter sports, all of which are held on ice or snow. The only Olympic Winter Games held in Canada was in 1988, in the city of Calgary, Alberta. In 2010, Canada proudly hosted the XXI Olympic Winter Games, this time in Vancouver, British Columbia Fun Facts: Mules are generally very rare, much sought-after errors. For example, a U.S. Sacagawea dollar was discovered several years ago with the obverse of a Washington state quarter and the Sacagawea reverse. In 2000, the U.S. Mint confirmed the legitimacy of the error, and only a few have been discovered. One example sold on eBay for more than 40,000 US. In Canada, a mule was discovered among the circulating Millennium 25-cent coins issued in 2000. The piece sports both the February obverse, and the obverse of the medallion that was included in Mint sets. It was previously listed in Trends for $525.00 in MS-64 condition. Mules were also discovered among the 1999 Millennium coins, on the September and November 25-cent pieces. Each of those is valued at $160.00 in MS-64.
