I defiantly don't hate toonies but a toonie sure can buy a lot of pennies :)

Toonies are a nice coin. I bought a 1996 proof today for $5 USD. Very beautiful coin. I have one of the new plated ones. I don't like that version of it. The plated steel ring looks cheap and counterfeit like. I'll collect the old toonies, but not the plated steel ones.

I have also found that there is truly very little response to toonie and loonie questions in this forum. I am definitely a collector of these coins mostly found in circulation. I have some interesting stuff that I am waiting for an opportunity to photograph.

That's a wonderful list, although most collector are not able to finish it.
I guess toonie is not so popular because it's too young...

Kudos to the above members who posted the Toonies lists. I think the set of Toonies is going to be a "sleeper" set. No real action on it for 20 years, then all of a sudden the numismatic community will wake up and say "Holt cats, look at all the varieties of Toonies there are! I'm going to see if I can get the whole set!" It won't be until then, I figure, that the Toonie will come into its own as a collectible. The ones collecting them now are the smart ones, because they'll have fantastic sets for reasonable prices.

Yes-----just a workhorse coin----Possibly the ugliest thing on the planet. A pinhead of a portrait and some furry gerbil on the reverse--- every time you see one you think to yourself----I hope that center thing does not drop out!
I could rant on and on----but it does even deserve that!
