          The Royal Canadian Mint has provided each member of the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic teams with a Lucky Loonie as their own personal good luck charm. At the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002, a loonie brought a stroke of good fortune to Canada when our men's and women's hockey teams skated to victory over a Lucky Loonie buried secretly beneath centre ice.

          Spy Coin Poppy Quarter from 2004 is still called the odd-looking Canadian quarter with a bright red flower. It was the culprit behind a false espionage warning from the US Defense Department about mysterious coins with radio frequency transmitters This coin was distributed by Tim Hortons. Great Canuck gift!

          Depicted with a Polar Bear, the Toonie Bear or Toonie or Polar is the two-dollar-coin of Canada. The Queen and The Bear The Toonie has the picture of the Queen on its head side and the picture of the Polar Bear on its tail side. Since Canadians worship the Queen, this is undisputed proof that Canadians also worship the Bear. [edit] Joke Q. What's on the Canadian two-dollar-coin? A. The Queen with the Bear [bare] behind! [edit] Naming Introduction of the two-dollar-coin to replace the two-dollar-note brought about a discussion of the possible nicknames for the bear. Early candidates included "bearlie", "doubloon" (portmanteau of "double" and "loon"), "twoonie" (portmanteau of "two" and "lonnie"), "polar" (named for the type of bear), and "Bouchard" (after the Quebec separatist leader due to early coin defect with separable inner disc). In the end, "toonie" (morphed from "twoonie") won out in English-speaking Canadians and "polar" won out in French-speaking Canadians. This resulted with the Canadians' "loonie" ($1) and "toonie" ($2) making a complete reference to the American Looney Tunes cartoon as well as "huard" (French-word for "loon") and "polaire" (French-word for "polar") rhyming.
