    No. It's a "Toonie". Canada went to 1 and 2 dollar coins. There is a loon on the 1, that's the Loonie.
    You can't cash in foreign coins in the US. Only currency.
    Unless you get to Canada it is worthless.

    "The first day of introduction of the coin was February 19th, 1996 -- coincidentally the same day the $2.00 note was officially withdrawn from circulation. This includes $2.00 uncut sheets. The first $2.00 coins were struck from 60,000,000 pre-assembled blanks manufactured in Germany, just to get the circulation going. Then gradually, the mint began gearing up for local production by linking plugs and rings together by vibration and then stamping the design, with the pressure expanding the plug into a lock against the ring.

    These different methods of manufacture have resulted in a spate of different errors being known. These errors range from totally empty blanks, to varying degrees of plug misplacement to missing plugs or rings."

    aka, the German planchet

    @Fancymoney - it doesn't appear to be from those photos.

    The only thing even remotely German is QEII's old family name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, or perhaps Hannover.
