CANADIAN MINT PRESENTS GOLD BAR

  This week The Royal Canadian Mint donated a gold bar to
  the Canadian Cancer Society:

  "The Royal Canadian Mint presented a gold bar worth
  $72,924 to the Canadian Cancer Society yesterday at its
  historic Sussex Drive headquarters. The donation represents
  the portion of the proceeds pledged from the sales of the
  Mint's 2003 Golden Daffodil Coin."

   "The Mint donated $2 from every 2003 Golden Daffodil
  coin sold to support the Society's five priorities - prevention,
  advocacy, research, information and support."

  [The coin is a proof silver 50 cent piece with a mintage of
  55,000.  Interestingly, the coin's designer is Royal Canadian
  Mint Engraver Christie Paquet, who bears the same last name as
  U.S. Mint engraver Anthony C. Paquet.   Is anyone aware of
  a family connection between the two?  -Editor]
