"Loonie"



It has been almost a year since I last posted in this blog. I have been really very very busy but I have not stopped acquiring coins.

My recent trip to Philippines and Canada has added a few more. The image above is a Canadian 1 dollar coin, commonly refer to locally as the "loonie". Perhaps because of the image of a common loon on the reverse side of the coin. The coin above instead of the common loon they have the British Parliament in London, I think. This might be commemorating the commonwealth, I don't know.
