One thing I hate about the loonie and twoonie is that they are "weight" compared to paper bills. It impresses the girls when you pull out a heavy wallet ... until they clue in.
Worse, due to the weight there is more wear and tear, I go through a new wallet at least every year now.

Hey Matthew...Where do you live???
The Toonie is a WICKED COOL coin.
I guess you're not a cheap skate like me. My wallet is at least 30 years old and I rarely open it. I think the last time I opened it was in 1986. I put my twins photos in it.
I forgot...I put Dan's photo in it in 1990. When I found out he was a LOW LIFE YANKEE FAN I took it out.

Seriously, the coins wear out the "coin pouch" in my wallet on a yearly basis. I have a standing order for a wallet for Christmas if relatives ask what to buy me.
You can't put the coins in your pants pocket ... you jingle like Santa and creates a weird bulge in your pants (nothing impressive like stuffing a sock down there if you know what I mean). :-)

Have you thought about getting something like this to carry around your loose change???

I have a jar with a slot cut into the lid. All change from my wallet goes in there, including loonies and toonies. When it's full, I roll the coins, take them to the bank, and come away with $30 or $40 in crisp, lightweight, thin paper money. It's a wallet-saver!

I just use Interac for most things. When I do use cash, the problem isn't with the loonies but with the pennies - stupid provincial sales tax screws up all the nice even numbers that the 5% federal tax creates.

Get pants with little "coin pockets" built into the big ones.

Never use credit cards when you can use checks; never use checks when you can use currency notes; and never use currency notes when you can use coins!!
The more denominations of paper money are discontinued in favor of coins,the better.(And the bigger the larger-denomination coins are,as long as they fit in pockets and pouches,the better).

And never use coins when you can use goats, silk, spices, and amphorae of wine....r

I did that back when the toonies first came out, when Interac wasn't everywhere. The first year my toonies added up to $476, or enough for a week in Cancun.

I convert all my loonies into Canadian Tire money.

Please send your excess twonies to my son, who's having his tenth birthday tomorrow. I still has one from our trip to Manitoulin two summers ago, and thinks it's the coolest thing he's ever seen.

Remember when the CIA thought the toonies were fascinating a couple of years ago?
