There are two things that Canadians love: Hockey and Bigfoot
It's no secret Canadians love sasquatch. They love him so much, they created a young sasquatch named Quatchi, one of the mascots for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic games.
Why not compliment Quatchi with a special edition Canadian coin, like this 25 cent piece from the Royal Canadian Mint.
Sasquatch is the first coin to be issued in the Canadian cryptids 3-coin series. Here's the description:
Highlights:
Children of all ages will be captivated by this large coloured coin and its mysterious theme. It’s presented in a full-colour folder that tells the fascinating story of Sasquatch and includes a pull-out map showing where it was last seen—let the intrigue begin!
Coin design:
A surprising aerial perspective of Sasquatch walking among snow covered trees, leaving behind a trail of large footprints in the snow.
Tracking a mysterious creature from Canada’s North.
Is Sasquatch myth or missing link? First Nations legends abound with haunting tales of a giant, human-like creature lurking in the mountain forests of Canada’s Yukon, British Columbia and northern Ontario.
They are not alone. In Asia, people claim to have seen Yeti, and in the western United States, witnesses describe a very similar Bigfoot—a very fast, very hairy and strong “ape-man” walking on two feet, “As big as a bear standing on its hind legs,” they say. Sasquatch is reputed to stand about 3 m (10 ft) tall and weigh 227 kg (500 lb)—and looking at the huge footprints it leaves behind, believers say the truth can’t be far off. What do you think?

Well Yah! They are mentioned in the Old Testament Deuteronomy 2 ;20 and the first half of the book of Joshua where he chased them out of the valley of Hebron in the land of Caanan. Goliath was one of those Hairy, Ugly, Giant,Entities (HUGE) in the Philistine camp that David slew. Other older books of antiquity mention them.

Fourty years of research convinced me this is a very old, very reclusive branch of humanity. It seems wise to leave them alone as they prefer this.
