And when Canada released the $2 coin shortly after the “Loonie”, it quickly became the “two-ney”.....yep, LOONIE and TOONIE, get it?? Loonie Toons. Folks, you can’t make this stuff up.

And the Twoonie:

Of course, the Yanks never took to the two dollar bill, but Canadians always found it a usefull denomination, all the more so now that one and two dollar denominations are coins.

The coins are handy for parking meters, although in Toronto most parking meters accept credit cards.
