The Canadian $1 and $2 Coins: Loonie and Toonie

On June 30, 1987, Canada introduced the $1 coin featuring a common loon, quickly nicknamed the "Loonie." The original design was supposed to feature the Voyageur, but the master dies were mysteriously lost in transit to Winnipeg. Ten years later in 1996, the $2 coin—the "Toonie"—was introduced. 💰

🥥 For one brief glorious moment in Canadian history, 5 Loonies equalled 1 Spock.
People who lived in Canada at that time still recall the glory of being alive in such days as those.
Many poor souls who were absent think themselves accurs'd they were not there.
Those bills and that coin will long be remem-ber-ed. 🥥
