The Vancouver 2010 set: all 17 coins

Between 2007 and 2009, the Royal Canadian Mint put 17 circulation coins into Canadian change for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games: 15 quarters and 2 Lucky Loonies. RBC issued a collector card with a slot for each one, and that card is how most complete sets still turn up in estates today.

Set the expectation first: there is no silver in this set. The 15 quarters are nickel-plated steel (4.40 g each) and the two loonies are aureate nickel (7.00 g each). A circulated coin from this set spends at face value — 25 cents for a quarter, C$1 for a loonie. The value here is the finished collection, not the metal.

What is the set worth?

Circulated, the whole set is worth its face value: C$5.75. Uncirculated singles are worth a few dollars each (about US$1–3 plain, US$2–6 colour). A complete set in the RBC collector card realistically sells for about US$14–25, and a dealer would pay roughly US$8–12 for one. Mintages are large — about 22.4 million per quarter design — so rarity is not the story here; completion is.
