2001 Canadian .10-Cent Coin: Complete ROLL OF 50 DIMES, Celebrating "YEAR OF VOLUNTEERS / ANNEE DES BENEVOLES". Original plastic packaged as issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in brilliant uncirculated mint condition.

This 10-cent coin depicts a symbolic rendition of the marching mothers and the sun's rays, symbolizing the enlightening effect that volunteers have upon our communities. From a community, to a nation, to the world. It is accompanied with the legend both in English and French "YEAR OF VOLUNTEERS / ANNEE DES BENEVOLES".

Fifty years ago, mothers from Hamilton, ON collected dimes to find a cure for polio. Their efforts made a direct contribution to the discovery of the vaccine. Their work continued, responding to new areas of need and expanding into other communities. These "Marching Mothers" were a significant force in the lives of Canadians and exemplify the spirit of volunteerism.
