    Released in the Year 1996 the Canadian Toonie or 2 Dollar Coin is one of the more modern denominations in Canada, Usually that means there isn't too much Value but that isn't necessarily the Case with the Toonie as there are Several Valuable Errors and Varieties you can look for and in this video I will show you how to identify them and discuss there Value!
    The featured varieties include :
    1996 horn Toonie
    2000 pedestal D Toonie
    2010 toonie with 14 serrations
    2012 HMS Shannon with an extra sail
    1996 Canadian Toonie struck on a German planchet.

    Since I'm a US citizen, when I started collecting, I started collecting US coins. However, I came across some books with Canadian pennies and bought them and I do that because my mom was born in Canada as was my grandmother, of course and grandfather. I really enjoy your videos thank you for all the work and effort that you put into them, I greatly appreciate it!

    I roughly remember these coins first came out was about 12 years old,read article about heist way back then.
    The theft of 1.5M toonies
    That was the cash haul on board a tractor-trailer that was driven away from CN's Turcot yard in Montreal back in July of 1996 - just a few months after Canada's new $2 coins had entered circulation. It was left to the police to try to get those dozens of tonnes of freshly minted toonies back.

    Thanks for sharing. My two cents .. Err.. Nickle's worth? .. CND One dollar coin has a Loon (a bird) image on one face and the Monarch's image on the flip side.
    Thus it is nicknamed the Loonie.
    CND Two dollar coin has a Polar Bear image on one face and an image of the Monarch on the flip side.
    Calling it a Twonie is a bit odd.
    A Nanook (Inuit name for Polar Bear)
    would have been the best name in my opinion. But it was rejected by the RCMint.
    (A 'Churchill' was RCMint's initial name)
    Another name could be 'Poohnie' .. Winnie the Pooh was a Canadian Bear
    'Teddie' would work better... if sticking with the bear inspiration.
    'BiPolar' makes sense.. Canada is bilingual (French and English). And the fact it is constructed with two different metals of two contrasting colours makes BiPolar a better fit than Toonie.
    Even calling it a 'Smokie' (although with more USA forestry influence) would work.
    The present name was no doubt 'coined' by an unimaginative bureaucrat working @ the Canadian Mint in Winnipeg... MP Diane Marleau dropped the ball on the naming of the Canadian two dollar coin.... Toonie.. Soooooooo boring!
