Did you know?

The Lucky Loonie tradition can be traced back to the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, where a Loonie embedded at centre ice brought luck to Canada’s men’s and women’s hockey teams (both teams won gold). Since then, Loonies have been placed under curling sheets, buried in baseball diamonds, and even taped to basketball standards—they’ve become a fun good-luck charm in competition, and a part of sports culture in Canada!

Behind closed doors

"What a cool project to be a part of, with such an awesome story behind it, and who would’ve thought that the tradition of the Lucky Loonie would still be going strong over 20 years later! With its wings stretched up in a “V,” the loon splashes into the lake and breaks the stillness of the water on this 2026 edition. I think this design captures the quiet strength and resilience of the Canadian landscape, and hopefully it will bring something special to anyone in need of a little extra luck."

- Steven Hepburn, Artist

About the design

Your Lucky Loonie comes enclosed in a keychain that can be easily removed from its card packaging—attach it to your bag, clothing, key fob, etc. for a little extra luck on the go!

Designed by Canadian artist Steve Hepburn, your 2026 Lucky Loonie continues the tradition of offering a fresh take on the classic $1 circulation coin design by Robert-Ralph Carmichael and features a quintessentially Canadian lake setting. The common loon (Gavia immer)—a Canadian symbol embodying this country’s wilderness and waterways—has its wings raised triumphantly in a “V” (for “Victory”) shape while splashing into the water below. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
