About
Official First Day 25-Cent Freestyle Skiing Coin (2008)
This specially designed folder contains one of the first 10,00025-cent freestyle skiing coins that were struck when production began on September 1, 2006.
Freestyle skiing began in the 1960’s when social change and freedomof expression led to new and exciting skiing techniques. Originally a mix of alpine skiing and acrobatics, the first competition was held in New Hampshire in 1966. The sport became an Olympic medal event in 1992 in Albertville, and only two years later in Lillehammer, Canadians won gold in moguls, and silver and bronze medals at the first aerials event.
Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger)
These three words, comprising the motto of the Olympic movement, encourage the athlete in all of us to give our best during competition, and to view this effort as its own victory.
