Today at work we had some Canadians from Manitoba stop in. We were talking about the Looney (SP?) & the Tooney (SP?) Fours years ago we were up in Alberta & I had some Canadian two dollar bills left from a trip a few years back & left them as tips for the students working at restuarant. They said we haven't seen these things around for years. I didn't realize they replaced the two dollar bill with a coin. The Canadian fella said you get to many Tooneys in your pocket & it gets heavy. He gave me a Tooney to add to my collection of Looneys. My question is when did the Tooneys come out. The one I have says 1997. It looks like silver on the outside with a copper coin in the center, the queen on one side & a polar bear on the other side. There is D.G. Regina was it minted in Regina, Manitoba?
