I googled it. A Canadian $2 coi20190716_094015.thumb.jpg.5fbfb93b23847c91a9503a6ea6e751eb.jpgn.

I didn't realize photos dropped over the words would split the text.

My toonies cost 16 cents to make but Canadian banks paid face value for them. A good profit margin for the mint.

In Canada we originally had the $1 coin called the loonie because it had a loon on the front, and because people thought it was crazy to switch from paper bills to coins. When the $2 bill was eliminated the creative minds in Canada came up with the term of affection "twoonie". An extension of the popular loonie term.

For the record, I among millions of other Canadians, absolutely hated the idea of taking our small denominations and making them into coins. Now....I wouldn't have it any other way.
