middross Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 02/26/2012 10:37 pm When the loonie first came about, I was dead set against it (I was young, didn't have a lot of money, and figured that I would be much more likely to have a coin fall out of my pocket and get lost than it would for a paper bill). Now that they have been around for some time (and $1 isn't a lot of money to me anymore) I like the loonie and the toonie as well. I must admit that I do miss the paper bills from time to time.

I find that if I have bills I keep them in my wallet and tend to spend them . But if I have loonies and toonies in my wallet they get to heavy and annoying so they usually get removed every day and placed into a change Jar (After close inspection for errors and key dates and such :P ) After a while you will be surprised how much and fast this adds up to 2-300 dollars easy. And ALl the coin collecetors out there I think can find a few good ways of spending 2-300.. Am I right... Report this Post to the Staff
middross Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 02/27/2012 08:56 am ^ Great point. My wife and I usually put our loonies/toonies in a piggy bank for our daughter. Every couple of months we empty it and bring the money to the bank and put it in her RESP (registered education savings plan). It is amazing how quickly they add up. Report this Post to the Staff
