The Royal Canadian Mint just released a new navy coin commemorating the 100th anniversary of the navy. And that's also a beautiful website to showcase the history of canadian navy!
 
It is a decent looking coin and it is nice to see the mint sending these into circulation.

On another note I noticed on the Canadian Navy Stamp that the female on it is CPO2 Bush, who just happens to be the SO for the centennial project.  I find it odd that the SO of the project managed to put herself on the stamp.  Why didn't they at least have some sort of "deserving sailor" on the stamp and not someone who just happened to be sitting in the room.  I know it is a petty thing, but it doesn't seem right.

 
I assume you mean the "stamp" on the coin and if you hadn't mentioned it, I would never have noticed. having said that, I suspect Cheryl did not nominate herself and was likely nominated because of her position in the organizing of Centennial events.....maybe?
 
I think they do mean "stamp" as in postage stamp.

Not just a "Petty" thing, but a "Chief Petty Officer, 2nd Class" thing. 

;D
 
Same reasoning as I mentioned before though - Good for her. But the one on the coin is her too!

No its not. The one on the coin wears LT's stripes (Though seen from the reverse side, we can't see the nice new shinny Elliot's eye :)).
