“Seventy-five years after Superman’s introduction to the world, Mint employees are proud to honour Superman’s legacy by producing a special series of gold, silver and cupro-nickel collector coins for Canadians and collectors alike to treasure for years to come,” said Ian E. Bennett, president and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint.
The coins can be purchased beginning today at the Winnipeg, Ottawa and Vancouver Mint boutiques, at Canada Post retail outlets or ordered directly at Mint.ca/Superman.
