...psst... this is the 26th year of the loonie... pass it on...
(26 sets of dies)
Though this is the 26th year of circulation for the loonie it's still the 25th anniversary.
Though no loonies were issued for circulation in some years,more than 30 different circulation loonies have been issued(more than 30 sets of dies)

If you heat loonies up with a oxygen acetylene torch they change colour to silver.

Oh, that's right, some years the loonie did not circulate. My mistake, but it's still 26 years.

(Silver is not a color and neither is gold.)
