These aren't collector coins. They're spending coins. I don't want to
start a flame war with the rcc boys.

quarter.

If I have $3 in my pocket they are ready to rip. In Canada I have had
$8 or $9 in my pocket quite often. It does get rather heavy though.
That Toonie is big and heavy.

Yeah, I lined up five of them end to end and thye were the same length as my
ball point pen, longer than the mouse. Add a loonie and it more than
exceeds the length of my chequebook.

You may be in a hurry to disburse them for goods and/or services. But,
before you can spend them, you must first collect them. That makes them,
pretty much by definition, collector coins. The logic is irrefutable g

I don't want to start a flame war with the rcc boys.

Yeah, they're too easy to be any real fun g

I know! Up here, our pants are falling down all the time!
Women don't have to wear tops anymore! I think they
want us to breed cuz of natural selection and cuz most
of our women live in Ottawa; cuz of all the government
buildings. It's a 7 to 1 ratio though! (Some are even taller)
Anyway, I hope we don't switch to gold nuggets!

Or you could start making coins out of some *realy* expensive metals such as
Osmium or Rhenium g
