[TR] Brit Money Definition

Hi Scott:

Ha ha!

I always thought they made a mistake in calling it a toonie instead of a
Doubloon.

Cheers,

Mark

As Tim pointed out, a loonie is a Canadian one dollar coin, with a
picture of
the queen on one side and a picture of a loon on the reverse. A toonie
is the
two dollar coin showing the queen with a bare behind (appologies to all
royalists - for those that haven't seen a toonie, the reverse picture is
of a
polar bear - and spelling never was my long suit).



cheers

Scott
