Why was the loon chosen to be on Canada's 1 dollar coin?

The image on the back of the Canadian Dollar coin is that of a Canadian Loon, a waterbird native to Canada. Hence, the coins are often refered to as "Loonies." As a point of interest, the Canadian Two Dollar coin is sometimes refered to as a "Toonie" (or, less commonly, "Two-nie") although it has no waterfowl imagery at all (Toonies have an image of a polar bear on the back). Both the Loonie and the Toonie have a portrait of Queen Elizabeth the Second on the front. It was also a little bit derogatory, because when first proposed many Canadians were a little resistant to the idea of a dollar coin and therefore considered it a little bit nuts or 'loonie'.
