Having lived here, I can tell you that FG is a moron.
The currency is "dollars", the $1 coin is called the Loonie, because there is a picture of a Loon on it (imagine that).
(Excuse me while the mental image of a typical American tourist entering a store and saying "This here is worth 30 loonies". )

mmm... and a two-canadian-dollar-coin is called a 'toonie'.Poor silly humans. A temporarily stable pattern of matter and energy stumbles upon self-cognizance for a moment, and suddenly it thinks the whole universe was created for its benefit. -- mbelleroffComment

I'm pretty sure he's thinking:
"Mr. Cheney said this guy was from some country somewhere, but now he's giving me money! He must be from an oil company then. I wonder which one? Think, W, think. Hmmm, it's a coin; must be Enron.

Have you looked at them carefully?
You beat me to it. I was thinking of posting those here. This sure makes the intrinsic and nominal value of banknotes more equal.
Well, lets just imagine my question is not hypothetical then...

Maybe the ATM's would give out more banknotes by accident because of the stickyness.

"Pecunia non olet."
In this case, it could stink and stick.
Although, as the notes are mostly cotton, you should be able to wash them. I think I'll try it with a 5er....

@ Zealot, but you'll probably have to edit that out soon...
Yesterday I got my first foreign euro coin, an Italian 5 cents coin. I'm keeping it, it's nicer than ours!Originally posted by axi
edit: It has been 10 days since the introduction of the Euro and I have yet to see a foreign coin. We will be flooded with them in summer though.

Looky here! Just checked my wallet and I have a Letzebuerg 2 euro coin! National design looks very much like ours, so I didn't notice until now. Better spend it fast before shopkeepers refuse it.Originally posted by Fiera
