Starting in the Fall of 2007 all Canadian dimes will adorn the 5Dimes logo on the reverse, the obverse (front) of the coin will remain unchanged.<o></o><o
></o>Through a partnership with The Royal Canadian Mint, 5Dimes is proud to announce the unveiling of the new 10-cent piece. “Legislation was passed eight months ago which altered the Royal Canadian Mint Act just enough to provide us the opportunity of using the back of the coin any way we deemed fit. We decided it would be best if we would auction the reverse of the coin and use the money at the Government’s sole discretion.” stated a spokesperson of The Royal Canadian Mint. <o
></o><o
></o>The spokesperson continued, “Once the word got out that the reverse side of the coin was up for bidding, we had offers pouring in from advertisers, celebrities and politicians worldwide.” Ultimately, 5Dimes outbid every other competitor. <o
></o><o
></o>“With our name being 5Dimes, we knew that being on the back of a dime was a once in a lifetime advertising opportunity for our company. Price was not a factor, we were determined to outbid everyone, and we did.” explained a 5Dimes representative.<o
></o><o
></o>The Royal Canadian Mint can not discuss details of the bid as part of the negotiation. However, 5Dimes was able to obtain an exclusive statement from The Royal Canadian Mint which verified that “although we can not discuss the negotiations at this time, we thought it was a perfect match that a company like 5Dimes would be on the back of our dime.”<o
></o><o
></o>Even though the bidding may have cost 5Dimes a ‘mint’, they, along with the Canadian people and the rest of the world, are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their own, official coins throughout <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Canada</st1lace></st1:country-region>. The new coins will be entered into circulation in the Fall, and at this time, no other Canadian coins are available for bidding. The coins are not expected to fluctuate the value of the Canadian dime, as approximately 42,000,000 will be released. <o></o><o
