The campaign works hard to bring attention to the country's diverse history and showcases this through [three new coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-coins), which are joining the Commemorative Circulation Program as well. Through the animated videos that capture the work, the Royal Canadian Mint will be able to take viewers through a visual journey of the country's archives. It highlights the significance of " the $2 National Indigenous Peoples Day coin, the $1 Elsie MacGill coin, and the $2 Jean-Paul Riopelle coin." Each design represents a different aspect of the Canadian heritage and honors various accomplishments such as the tapestry of culture. It works with [McCann Montreal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adlam-display) to make the animations possible.
