Graphic designerBonnie Ross, owner of Ross Graphic, was asked by the Royal Canadian Mint to come up with a concept.

"I was thinking it's the 50th year for this flagand I thought, 'My gosh, in 50 more years, it will be the 100th anniversary and what would people think of it 50 years from now?' So I thought, 'What about 50 children?'"said Ross.

Ross's quarter features 50 children of all sizes and ages holding out the Canadian flag.

"It was not easy drawing 50 little children," she said.

Ross has designed coins for the Royal Canadian Mintbefore.Two years ago, 12.5 million quarters with her design of the Canadian Arctic expedition were put into circulation. Twelve point five millionof Ross's Canadian flag quarters began circulating nationally on June 9th.

"I do a lot of collector coins, but circulation coins are special because they do end up in someone's pocketand I say, 'Oh look they're paying for that with my money.'"

Ross's design will be unveiled in Halifax July 25.
