You know, this can happen only in Canada. You can walk into a bank and ask for a bunch of loonies in exchange for a few dollars. The banker will not laugh or hide a smile. He will say, yeah sure, I can get you some loonies in a moment. What other country on earth can anyone do that?
Ok, a loonie is a one dollar coin. A toonie is a two dollar coin. It took me a long time to get over this. Loon is the national bird of Canada and the one dollar coin has a loon on it.
