Definition
Canadian one-dollar coins, named after the loon bird featured on them, or plural of loony (a crazy or silly person).
Etymology
Canadian slang from the 1980s when Canada introduced the one-dollar coin featuring the loon, a water bird native to Canada. The playful name stuck and is now the official term, blending humor with national pride.
Kelly Says
It's hilarious that Canada's official currency is nicknamed after a wild waterbird, and the Loonie itself depicts a real, slightly-goofy-looking loon! Canadians loved the name so much that when they made a two-dollar coin, they called it a 'Toonie' (two-loonie) to match.
