[Missing the point]

A Toonie is a canadian coin for $2

[chipbgt]

[desmocat]

toonie is a 2 dollar coin in canada. loonie is a one dollar coin.I learned this on a trip to banff/lake louise a couple of years ago when confronted with a vending saying "loonies only" I thought"****, my very own vending machine!" These canadian folks really are nice!! JUst razzin' you guys! Mp

[Biff]

Chef Mark, it's a $2 Cdn coin, the $1 coin had a loon engraved on it and became known as a loonie. Then the $2 coin came out and became instantly known as a "toonie" Biff

plucky, I really wish you hadn't told everybody you were Canadian. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Isn't the official name for a "toonie" a Nanuk(sp?).....it's Inuit for polar bear.

I've had $32 worth of change in my wallet once....I had to walk with a limp. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

lol

Got some canadian friends, almost fell off my rocker when i heard that the first time.

You do your thing, we'll do ours http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
Were gettin the US dollar coin back...
Isnt like that kinda counterproductive?

[CujoRbd]

hey, if we're all loonie toons, then let's get on with the (new, but still OK) song....


"We're tiny, we're toony. We're all a little loony. And in this cartoony we're invading your TV........"

don't that just brighten the room there, plucky? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

I don't think it's counterproductive. With more and more people useing debet cards for everything, physical money is becomeing less important. The avarage life cycle for a metal coin is far far longer than that of a bill which means less money is spent at the mint printing money. Also, whenever I'm in the states I find buying a soda or anything from a vending machine frustrating.

haha, insert, reject, run it over the corner of the machine a few tiems....repeat. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
