About This Item

this coin is recognisable because of the D (for Damsk) soldered on its back (to make it a little less collectable as it travels around).

What is this coin about?
A blue canary is apparently a US term used only half in jest by firemen in referring to law enforcement officers at a hazardous materials incident. Unfortunately, Hazmat training for law enforcement has lagged behind that of fire fighters. Law enforcement is usually trained to rush immediately to any incident they are called to. Fire fighters have been trained to observe the area as they approach. Only half jokingly fire fighters are taught in responding to hazardous material incidents to observe any law enforcement officers already on the scene to see if the "Blue Canaries" appear OK or are prone on the ground. Blue Canary is a retired law enforcement officer.

    We found this Canery amoungt some trees as the light was fading and the birds were singing their final songs before sleep.
    We will look out some bird pictures to add to the file.
    Thanks for sharing this coin.
