Nice loon trig. Here's why I like it. The new design is great, except for the security feature, after the same design was used for 2012 and 2014, I was expecting just another date change. The loon takes up so much of the coin, almost dwarfing the security feature. A shame it was the last Olympic loonie. It's the only one with "lucky loonie" on it. And the mint was trading them for face in 5 packs. Free shipping. This pack has 3 going to 1st,2nd and 3rd in my forthcoming 1000 post contest.

That's what I thought too Loonie. I really like the design on that coin.

Just one question.
Are all Canadian dollars referred to as a Loon, or only the one's with a Loon on them?

@Triggers Yes 1 modern Canadian Dollard are name Loonies not "Loon". From where come the name I will let others to answer, I do not want to go in this discussion.

YES, all modern Dollard coins are Loonies and 2 Dollard Tonie. Probably from alone "L" and from two "T"

@Silviosi, I did mean Loonie, not Loon, and I know you meant Toonie, not Tonie. :)

I consider any dollar coin after 1987 a loon/loonie, I use those names interchangeably. If you're talking Canadian Dollar coins, my mind flips to the Voyageur design. That's just me though.

So trig, I don't feel it needs to have a loon, as in bird, on it, just a $1 value. Like I said before, the flood of $1 coins is relentless here. It's a love/hate relationship, love the new designs, hate how many they pump out.
