I collect musical instruments (mostly trombones, but plenty of other instruments as well). Other than that, I'm normal. (relatively speaking :) )
1 war, 28 pre-1959 and a dateless buffalo.
Agreed. But copper still makes a decent sound, and even copper-coated zinc makes a sound compared to the copper-coated steel. Once upon a time,...
Coated steel works fine up here in Canada, but the coins make a "thunk" sound when you drop them. They just don't sound like money anymore....
Spend them at the coin shop. I know of one that I used to visit with my son, where they would look through the coins in their drawer for anything...
Don't know about the value, bit Mike is right, it is s significant (and legitimate) error.
Can't tell from your photo which variety it is. Email sent.
I got a few counterfeit Toonies a couple of weeks ago. I certainly won't be putting them back into circulation!
Can you get a closer shot of the date? (particularly the 2?) If it's the wide date variety, then it's worth a little more. (25-50% more)

A friend of mine has a huge Labrador Retriever. It eats a lot, and we went to the store to buy a large bag of dog food. We were in line to check...
Maybe the counterfeit $1 bills were made to "fool" the vending machines.
Very nice example. There are actually a few different varieties of the doubled 1979, your's is a full "979".
I could be worse. At least you didn't buy the coin for $90 and come home and find out it was only worth $20.
I got what I think is a counterfeit twoonie. (Actually more than one of them.) I'll get pics this weekend. I've got to persuade the wife to let...
Krause already has a fair bit of their info on the internet for free. www.numismaster.com - if you want mintages, prices, and more detailed...
Have you ever wanted dinosaur poop?...
