Canada drops $1 FIFA World Cup commemorative coins
Royal Canadian Mint releases colourized and non-colourized versions in circulation
As Canada gears up to host the FIFA World Cup tournament alongside the U.S. and Mexico, new commemorative $1 coins are entering circulation. The Royal Canadian Mint has dropped two versions of the new $1 FIFA World Cup 2026 coin — a colourized edition and a non-colourized edition — which went into circulation on Thursday. Canada is set to welcome soccer fans from June 11 to July 19, with Toronto and Vancouver among the 16 host cities. The coin was designed by Canadian artist Glen Green and commemorates this historic event.
