Visit The Official Coca-Cola Pin Trading Centre located in the Domestic Terminal, Departures Level 3. The YVR location is one of only three that are planned for the 2010 Winter Games, and the only one to be located outside of downtown Vancouver.
The Pin Trading Centre is open from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m., February 8 to March 3, 2010.
A large selection of specially-designed pins will be available for sale. Starting February 12, 2010, the Pin of the Day will be unveiled daily at 9:30 a.m. All Coca-Cola trading pins for the 2010 Olympic Games are made from recycled material and partial proceeds from sales will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund Canada. You can even have your picture taken and made into a pin!
The centre also features a Map of the World wall where you can exchange one of your Olympic pins for a Coca-Cola Olympic pin in return.
Pin trading is only permitted in the Centre on specially-designated tables. To reserve a pin trading table, please forward your request to: yvrptc@hotmail.com.

Hi,
Has the pin trading centre at YVR reopened during Paralympic? If so, what are the opening hours and dates? How do we book a table? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks!
Thank you for your comment, Isabelle. The Official Coca Cola Pin Trading Centre was open at YVR from February 8 – March 3, 2010. It will not be open during the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games.
Hi: I am interested in obtaining several 2010 Winter Olympic YVR pins, thanks. Vince McDonald. 208 – 7155 Hall Rd. Surrey, BC V3W 4X4.
Hi Vince –
Unfortunately we don’t have any YVR Olympic pins left. Our Olympic stores remain open – and actually, today is the beginning of the annual spring sale with up to 75% off merchandise. The Olympic stores are set to phase out in April and May.
cheers,
alisa
i need 3 pins for a full set of the coca cola day pins for the paralympivs do ya have thes n stock day 1 day2 day8
Hi Carl –
You’ll have to touch base with Coca-Cola for any of their pins. The pin trading centre was run solely by Coke and they took it down following the paralympics.
Thanks,
Alisa
