    I just think that the people of Canada like the word loonie :D and also like asking in US airports 'How many Loonies do I get for these dollars' LOL

    hard to calculate loonie

    it is hard to calculate loonie unless we know the percentage of bronze plating to the whole coin.

    i mean the hardest calculation is the toonie bi-metallic. do you know its composition and how many % on each metallic?

    i got it

    loonie worth u.s.$0.1881 each for intrinsic value. while sacagawea worth u.s.$0.0545 each.

    now it is time to figure out bi-metallic toonie.

    loonie collapse?.

    loonie and sac dollar fought back and forth these few days. now i can say it is one to one ratio.

    Who is lobbying to keep the $1 bill? Is it the dollar bill change machine vendors or the vending machine vendors who now allow you deposit a $1 or $5 bill into the machine? Most of those machines will accept the dollar coins too. Who would care enough to lobby?

    why is canadian loonie widely use?. and the u.s. dollar coin can't?. maybe we should let canadian use our dollars. after all the exchange rate almost equal.

    Canada dropped its one dollar bill, so people use loonies.

    Love the coin, got one in the rejects of a coin counter I was using.
