The USOC was appointed in 1978 as the coordinating body for all Olympic-related athletic activity in the United States, and the “Team USA/Vancouver 2010” logo appears in color on each medal and on a hologram on the packaging, as required for every USOC-authorized souvenir. For full details, contact the official distributor, Panda America (www.PandaAmerica.com), the California-based company that previously distributed coins and medals for the Olympics held in Los Angeles in1984 and the Beijing Olympics in 2008. The dollar-size (39-mm.) medals are being issued in proof-like brilliant uncirculated silver-plated and gold-plated versions. The official Vancouver 2010 USOC medals are available individually or as a set in a custom presentation box with a special holographic emblem on the outer packaging. The golden version features the Statue of Liberty in front of the Canadian Maple leaf, symbolic of the 5,526 mile border between the U.S. and Canada, the world's longest undefended border. The silver-plated medals feature the official logo of Vancouver 2010 and an inukshuk. An inukshuk, which means "likeness of person," was first formed in the permafrost from rocks by the Inuit People to mark trails, indicate caches of food, and locate nearby settlements as well as good places to hunt or fish. Olympic memorabilia are among the most popular collectables throughout the world—and none are more significant, more historic, more beautiful and more affordable than these official medals that help raise funds in support of American athletes. Official issue prices are $19.95 per medal or $35 for the set, plus $5 per order for shipping. Orders can be placed by calling toll-free (800) 472-6327, or at www.PandaAmerica.com.
