yes, we have observed the "loonie" debacle, mooch, as well as our well-publicized "susan B" disaster. we'll do anything to get out of printing paper dollars. they say they'll keep the paper ones around, too, but they lie.

I like coins that look like they have a little battery in the middle, or like a little irradiated signature capsule with biometrics to identify its owner.

moochs' building tip: Toonies make good lag bolt washers, the brass bit pops right out ..its cheaper than buying galvanized and they're better metal..

Decoy:
Is that Canadian $?
(Thu Mar 30, 2000 - 4:37:32 pm)

Myk Murphy:
aside for the occasional beaver nickel, we don't see many canadian coins this far south. the coins get all confused on the jersey turnpike, i think, and turn back in frustration.

I have one at home. I'm going to check it out. How do you pop that brass bit out?

Decoy:
God I'm thirsty. Getting up at 4am to watch baseball has made me a clock-watcher at work, looks like I get uncontrollably thirsty after 12 hours of consciousness and that just the way it is.
