Do you know the story of the Toonie?
In 1996, the Royal Canadian Mint introduced the Toonie to replace the two dollar bill.
Jack Anawek, MP for Nunatsiaq, suggested the name Nanuq, meaning polar bear, but the name Toonie became widely used by the public.
The bear on the coin is named Churchill.
We hope this newsletter will be a support to you as we read, research, and learn together at Lawrence Park C.I. Library Learning Commons.
