In celebration of Canada's 150th birthday, the new 2017 $2 toonie coin, Dance of the Spirits, celebrates the wonders of Canada with a design featuring the spectacular Auroroa Borealis. Dance of the Spirits depicts paddlers gliding across a placid lake under the shimmering curtain of the Northern Lights -- which the Cree peoples called "the dance of the spirits." The tie that binds these coins is the Canada 150 logo, whose mosaic of 13 triangular shapes -- one for each province and territory -- evokes memories of the 1967 emblem.
