For those of you who are not from or have never been to Canada, guess what a "loonie" is.

Yeah, I saw it on an old Robin Williams special...

"Canadian money is also called the loonie... how can you take an economic crisis seriously? 'The loonie is down!' 'Oh how bad for you!!'" :lol:

No. In Canada a loonie is a dollar (and our 1 dollar is a coin not a bill). We also have a toonie (a 2 dollar coin).

Does it have something to do with a bird? A loon? I don't know, I'm just guessing. I've only been to Canada once...
