| toonie | Nickname given for the Canadian 2 dollar coin. As the one dollar coin is commonly called a "loonie", the word toonie is a combination of "two' and "loonie". Other nicknames that did not quite catch on: bearie (analogous to the Loonie and its loon), the bearly, the deuce, the doubloonie (a play on "double Loonie" and the former Spanish doubloon coin), and the moonie--because it depicted "the Queen with a bear behind"(yes that is punderful). | loonie | Nicholas | 2010-12-21 |
