The technical specifications for the Loonie from the Royal Canadian Mint state that the Loonie has a diameter of 26.5 mm. A normal flat-sided polygon cannot have a constant width, but the Loonie does. And it is eleven because this sort of thing can only be done based on polygons with an odd number of sides.
The loonie refers to the $1 Canadian coin and derives its nickname from the picture of a solitary loon on the reverse side of the coin. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The loonie, introduced in 1987, was a replacement for the paper version of the Canadian dollar (CAD).
Lighter loonies, tooniesThe toonie now weighs 6.92 grams, versus the 7.3-gram old toonie. In the spring of 2012, the metal composition changed from nickel alloy to multi-plated steel, so the coins now are more than half a gram lighter and cheaper to produce. A lighter version of the toonie was also introduced.
The current loonie is made from bronze-plated nickel, while the toonie has a ring of pure nickel around a copper alloy centre. The new coins will use the same multi-ply plated steel technology used in the penny, nickel, dime and quarter.
The 1911 Canadian Silver Dollar is the Holy Grail of Canadian coins. For years it held the record for the world's most valuable coin.

The inner layer of the new 40% silver half dollars contained 79% copper and 21% silver, while the outside was clad with 80% silver and 20% copper. Thus, in total, the coin consisted of 40% silver. A 40% silver half dollar weighs around 11.5 grams, and it is still worth its original legal tender value of 50 cents today.
The Canadian dollar, also known as the loonie, for the loon on the $1 coin, is the currency of Canada. CAD is often referred to as a “commodity currency” because its value often correlates to commodity prices, especially the price of softwood lumber, minerals and crude oil.

The 2002 Commonwealth Games England £2 Coin is officially the most scarce £2 coin in the UK, ranking as 100 on our Scarcity Index. Four coins were released in 2002 to celebrate the Commonwealth Games and at first glance, you might struggle to spot the difference between them.
Actually the US has a $1 coin and has NEVER had a $2 coin. They did try a $2 note several years ago but it did not take off and is rarely, if ever, seen now. Canada on the other hand HAS had a $1 coin (The Loonie) since 1987 and a $2 coin (The Toonie) for about 10 years.
