Why dollars are called bucks. And why loonies are loony
« on: April 21, 2013, 03:43:22 am »




The appearance of the common loon on the back of the Canadian dollar coin that replaced the dollar bill in 1987 led to the word "loonie" which was adopted in Canadian parlance to distinguish the Canadian dollar coin from the dollar bill.
