Apparently the nickel, with our national beaver on it is the next one being evaluated.
and you know we haven't had a dollar bill around for some years...replaced by our "loonie"... everyone refers to it as a loonie because it has a loon on it. So we don't say "do you have change for a dollar" we all say "do you have change for a loonie"..
it is actually larger than our quarter (same size as the U.S. quarter) ..well its about the size of the U.S. dollar coin in circulation..
and our $2.00 bill has been gone for years also, replaced by a "toonie"...named so because it rhymns with the loonie.
It is the same size as the toonie. I know I've posted about our loonie and toonie before but while I am posting about the fate of our copper penny, I wanted to go through it all again...*s*...
I wonder whether the U.S. will follow suit with this? Maybe not, at least not for a while. Our loonies and toonies have never had an affect on your dollars and two dollars. Oh well thats how the penny rolls I guess....have a great evening... Judi xoxo

I just love the loonie and toonie! My SIL has given them to us! So pretty! The maple leave penny is so pretty too! It is a sad day for you guys in this loss! It is always good to have a few maples in your pocket!
Hi Judi! Oh, poor little coin! I've had some of those with the maple leaf on it. I heard years ago the U.S. was going to get rid of our penny but it's still here!
Oh, I'm so glad you liked my afghan. I really don't know how long it took to make as I would crochet a few days and then I wouldn't for a while. Probably had it done in about 3 weeks with all my stopping and going! :)
Be a sweetie,

Wonderful Post, Judi. It has me singing a "loonie toonie". I guess that's maybe partly due to the "lake effect"........lots of snow and it is lovely.
Oh no, not the penny! I have a huge glass jar that my Daddy gave me half full of pennies:) I enjoyed hearing about your coins:) Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
Very interesting. I did not know about all of that. Do you remember when we could buy some candies - - two for one cent. That was probably back in the 1960's - - at least.
