Curling began in 16th century Scotland outdoors on frozen ponds. Today in indoor rinks, teams of four players take turns launching a 19.1 kg stone toward the "house", a bullseye series of circles. Sweepers use brooms to scrub the ice in front of the stone to help direct it or make it go faster. The object is to get your team's stones to stop in the centre of the house, sometimes knocking your opponents' stones out of the way to do it!


Your coin will be carefully removed from the Bank Roll and mailed in a 2" by 2" coin flip.
