The term "toonie" is a colloquial name for the Canadian two-dollar coin, which was introduced in 1996. The name combines "two," indicating its denomination, and a playful reference to the existing one-dollar coin, known as the "loonie" due to its depiction of a common loon on one side. The nickname reflects Canada's tendency to use informal names for its currency, creating a memorable and distinctive identity for the coin.
