Canals Pin

The Canals Pin is a collectible pin that was originally distributed as a physical pin code item rather than a weapon skin drop. In practice, players now usually obtain it by buying it from other users on the Steam Community Market or third-party marketplaces if a marketable version is available. It is not something you earn through regular matchmaking, case openings, or weekly drops.

Yes, but Genuine Pins are tied to redeemable physical pin codes rather than normal in-game progression. Most Genuine Pins came from official physical collectible pin series sold by Valve at events or through limited merchandise channels. If an unused code still exists, it can redeem a Genuine-quality pin, but most players today encounter the standard market versions instead.

Valve has rotated several maps in and out of the active pool over time, and Canals was removed as part of broader map pool updates rather than because of the pin itself. The Canals Pin remains a collectible tied to that map’s branding and history. Its presence in inventory items is separate from whether the map is currently available in official matchmaking.

The Canals Pin’s value depends mainly on whether you are looking at a standard collectible version or a Genuine version from an unused physical code. Pricing also moves with supply, collector demand, and how many legacy map-themed pins are listed at a given time. For a current number, the page’s price section is the reliable reference because pin prices can change quickly.
