<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheBigH, post: 281062, member: 9866&quot;]That&#039;s because the Canadian dollar coin features a picture of a loon. It&#039;s a lot like the way we call our dollars &#039;bucks&#039;. Those are so named because, in the old days, there was no paper money. People would trade deer skins for goods and services (hence &#039;buck&#039;, a male deer). It&#039;s also a lot like the way we call our $100 bills &#039;Franklins&#039;. Benjamin Franklin is on the bill, so we call them &#039;Franklins&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
