I Guess a Loonie is a $1can coin with a loon on the obverse.
and the Toonie would be $2can coin that is a play on 2.

You even guessed that it was called a loonie because it has a loon on it!
The toonie has a polar bear on it. Its name is less clever.

I remembered there was a loon on one of your coins, I just did not know the denomination.
Basically this entire issue arose because I have this pathological need to break large bills whenever possible, that arose out of going to bars or restaurants and not having the right denominations to pay or leave a tip with on $20 bills.
As a result I will pay for most things with a 20 and end up with a serious amount of change in my pockets. There have been times when I reach into my pockets to grab change for something and pull out like $30 in coins. The problem with this came when I kept doing it even after noticing that it was actually pretty rare that I needed that much change. It just kept accumulating faster than I'd need it.
So I'd get home from wherever, empty my pockets onto my desk, and then weeks later, my desk would be really messy and I'd clean it. his entailed just sweeping all the change off it that I'd tossed there but adn't used for weeks, into a giant coffee can. Probably like $20-40 at a time.
Gusto, take a vacation to either Southern California or Louisiana.

Now I know who to go to if I ever have to bring an army through the William J. LePetomaine toll booth.
Statistically speaking, many of those quarters are probably 50 cent pieces. Better check them all to make sure you didn't short change yourself.Alright SO.
I couldn't sleep knowing I was that close, so I threw on some TNG and finished rolling. Since I started rolling change two years ago, I've underestimated my totals a few times. Here are the numbers.
75 rolls of pennies, 3750 pennies, totaling $37.50.
26 rolls of nickels, 2080 nickels, totaling $52.00.
37 rolls of dimes, 1850 dimes, totaling $185.00.
40 rolls of quarters, 1600 quarters, totaling $400.00.
2 rolls of loonies, 50 loonies, totaling $50.00.
3 rolls of toonies, 75 toonies, totaling $150.00.
183 rolls of coins totaling 9405 coins and $874.50.
I'ma buy an HDTV of some kind.

I got to hang out with Doc Severin for a little while today. He went with me and my kids to a local museum to see a dinosaur exhibit. He's got some pictures. I didn't get to actually cook for him, which was disappointing to me, but he did get a lovely kid lunch of Bagel Bites and grapes. My daughter proved that I am training her right when it comes to how to talk to men, too. "Guy! work!"was what she demanded of him when she wanted him to wind up one of her toys. lmao
My Polish friend recently told me that she had finally just seen Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, and asked wasn't I proud of her? I told her my pride hinged on which movie she preferred. She chose wisely.
Ouch, I'm not sure that I could choose one over the other! Glad she made the correct choice, though.
Well, sure, but what did she make you?
The correct choice, incidentally, is Blazing Saddles.Ouch, I'm not sure that I could choose one over the other! Glad she made the correct choice, though.
Believe it or not, but a few months ago I told my wife to pick out a romantic movie for us to watch and she chose Blazing Saddles.
Well, sure, but what did she make you?
Brilliant and true.
For the record here's what she makes me: Really damn lucky.
Here's why:
This is the lady who loves to spend time with me.
She works her ass off to help us make ends meet.
She supported me while I was in grad school.
She worked super hard to keep our relationship strong while she was overseas for 2, year long army deployments.
She spent all this last weekend with me watching every episode of Game of Thrones.
She watches and loves Battlestar Galactica and Firefly, etc.
She comes to every show my band plays.
She helped me break our bed once.
She's super hot.
She makes it hard for me to get anything productive done because all I want to do is hang out with her.
She lets me play videogames and never complains about them.
She totally gets me and supports me.
So yeah. I am one damn lucky guy.

Now that was a sweet thing to do...
Gay marriage just passed in New York.
I wish we could say we were the first, but number two will do out of 50.
Catch up, you fuckers.
