Why doesn't Canada cut off ties to the British Crown? Is tradition really that important?
The toonie could be considered multicoloured, since it's two pieces of metal that are different colours, but this is different.
I think the big thing here is that the coin is actually going to be in circulation.
It would cost more and take more effort to remove the queen as our head of state than it is to leave her there. I don't think she gets any of our money or anything (like how the brits pay for buckingham palace and all that), so we're not really losing anything.
After looking around a bit, we pay for the cost of her visits when she comes (last happened 1982 iirc, to sign our constitution), and we pay for the Governer General, her advisor in the country, and her residence as well, but that doesn't cost much.

Canadians say "colour"? WTF? Do you say "theatre" and "civilisation", too?

I always thought it was adorable the way you guys call your money the "dollar" like it was real money or something.

awesome
if it hits 1, i'll be very very happy
unfortunately, market sector is really slow at alternating their prices over to match currency changes, so if it ever did hit 1 per 1 USD, by the time they go to change their prices, it will be back down to .60 again :/

So you mean your dollar is getting lower and it will be better for me to go up north and shop?!?
Society: why do you have the CBC logo (I think it is)? Just seems to be an odd choice.
Edit: oh crap nm. I have to shop in Asia then.

I go by http://www.bankofcanada.ca. I think they probably know best
If it picks up much further the local market will have to take notice, or they'll lose a lot to importing. Probably around .85 you'll see it pick up again.
Heh I had a logo of Canada's football team in support of the 2006 World Cup. Well we were eliminated, so I wanted to change it. Have not had time to make a new one. So I just used CBC one.
The CBC logo is funny to me, that is how I see lights without my contacts. Street lights look exactly like that.

The mint where they make the coins is less than 5 minutes away from me, on the edge of Winnipeg, right when you enter the city from the Trans-Canada heading West. You can pick one up there
I can see the building out the window, it's pretty cool looking itself.

We speak this funny language called "English", devrived from the country of England. They also say "colour". In fact, I believe every English speaking nation in the world uses that spelling. Of course you yanks decided to do your own thing, as you're want to do.

Heh, indeed...the Iraq war and the growing oil crisis are all factors in making our dollar worth a damn, simply by making the US dollar worth shit next to the EU. Guess Bush has been good for something after all.
That quarter owns BTW...I'll probably use it for my avatar a week or two before Rememberance Day.

We got plastic money here in NZ too as of about 6 years ago, I can't believe I ever had the paper shit. I love the joy of plastic how it's near impossible to tear, and you can go swimming with the notes right in your togs!
