This is just a short blurb on the new U.S. dollar coin.
Canadians have had our one dollar coin called the “loony” for a long time. It’s called a “loony” because there is a loon bird engraved on the coin so I wonder what nick names Americans our going to give the new U.S. dollar coin. How about “the George”, because I think “Washington” is already taken for another bill denomination, just a suggestion. We will see.
Since, the introduction of the loony Canadians have been walking around with a lot more coins in their pockets. Sometimes, there will so many dollar coins in our pockets that an individual will weigh a quarter pound heavier, and start walking funny.
So if you visit Canada, and you see Canadians walkin’ around funny, that is just because we have a lot of dollar coins in our pockets and it is screwing up our balance. Now, our American neighbours will have the same dollar coin problems. Don’t worry Americans you will get used to it. Women will just be carrying around a much heavier change purse, as for guys you might want to have your pant pockets re-inforced with super strong nylon thread.
