toonie

The Canadian Toonie trades strongly against the US dollar; using the half-Toonie as a benchmark is an arbitrary choice.

No, a Loonie is 1 dollar coin and a Toonie is a 2 dollar coin.

It just happens to be the case that a loonie is less than a dollar bill, and a toonie more than a dollar bill.

Canadians didn’t have much interest in carrying the toonie either, but had no choice in the matter.

Canada has an 11-sided 1 dollar coin (the loonie) and a bimetallic 2 dollar coin (the toonie).

When I was a grad student, my McD's trips were 'hey I found a toonie (Canada), I can treat myself to a McDouble'.

Loonie Toonie was a pretty entertaining name for one.

There were long lines everywhere, and a stranger paid for my coffee with cash, because the single toonie I happened to have wasn't enough.

My grandpa called toonies "bearbucks", which isn't listed, but is in one of the quotes on the toonie entry.

"Loonie-Toonie (named for the two sides of the Canadian dollar coin)".

I just don't see Canadians saying, "Well, I was going to avoid the authoritarian dictatorship down south, but I've got a toonie in my pocket and those chumps will give me two bucks for it."

I mean, nobody is going to accept a Loonie or a Toonie, but all other denominations are fair game.
