When I played paintball, your loonie was the perfect size to adjust the regulator on my Bushmaster 2000.

Americans have loonies? Well, I guess we do, but isnāt it a lot of work going out to a Trump rally every time you want to make an adjustment?

Iām still disappointed that the $2 coin became known as the toonie. I preferred the āmoonieā, since it featured the queen on the front with a bear behind.

Yeah, I heard about that catch later on the radio. Understandable but it hasnāt stopped people from suggesting other living legends either.
I got the impression that since they were seeking a specific person rather than a general reference, that it would be replacing the traditional portraiture.
Nobodyās saying theyāre couldnāt be men of achievement. Itās just that thereās already been some men of achievement (such as the PMs you just mentioned). The ladies so far, who are all fine people, have been royalty. So theyāre more just traveling anachronisms to modern democracy and occasional fly-through visitors, not day-to-day Canadians or big-time achievers on their own.
Keifer Sutherlandās granddad would be a fine figure on a bill too.
However, as a guy, Iām OK with the next person of achievement on a bill being a woman.

But my list does include some specific people (though I didnāt name them). The 2004 $50 bill depicts Emily Murphy, Irene Marryat Parlby, Nellie Mooney McClung, Louise Crummy McKinney, and Henrietta Muir Edwards.
