My understanding is that the lions share of them actually went out east - and were involved in that crash;
I believe a good number (but I'd guess less than 1/1 of the loonies went out west;
I have found two of the loonies.

My understanding is that the production of 2012 loonies and toonies started out with the remainder of the old planchettes (I think that's the correct word!?) being used up, then when the supply was exhausted the mint switched over to the new "security featured" (aka: steel garbage) planchettes...
@ MIke999:
Another one to keep an eye out for is 2006 varieties;
I have not heard or read anything conclusive, but I have understood that there are no less than four version of the 2006 toonie, both the regular and 10th ann version were released with the date at the top or the bottom;
The anniversary toonies have a double date, and a different polar bear image;
If my memory serves me, the ones with the date at the bottom all have a maple leaf at the top, where as the ones with the date at the top have an RCM logo on the bottom...
I have not yet found a 2006 double date/maple leaf variety in circulation.
Also keep an eye out for "set only" coins - I found one so far that I pulled from circulation!
