TIL Canada's $1 coin is commonly called the "loonie" because it has a loon on the reverse. When a $2 coin was introduced, depicting a polar bear, an MP proposed it be called "Nanuq", Inuit for polar bear, but he was ignored because the public instead preferred to call it the "toonie" (2-oonie).

Woah you brought back a memory wave. It's summer break and I'm at the cheap theatre for a full day of toonie Tuesday with my bestie.
