Who? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loonie We do in fact have both a gold colored $1 and $2 coins and they work fine except for the terminal stupidity that the $1 coin is bigger than the $2 coin. And the 50c coin is bigger again, but is silver colored and not gold colored. And we don't have 1c and 2c coins anymore, the lowest value is 5c. |

Having pubic hair all over your face is disgusting. You shouldn't be allowed into shops, bits might drop off. |

That's why they won't fit into trolleys etc. We do in fact have both a gold colored $1 and $2 coins and they work fine except for the terminal stupidity I do like that phrase. Also terminal ****wit. that the $1 coin is bigger than the $2 coin. Strange. Although some of ours are the same, the 20p is smaller than the 10p for example. And the 50c coin is bigger again, but is silver colored and not gold colored. And we don't have 1c and 2c coins anymore, the lowest value is 5c. I don't see the point in our 1p and 2p coins. The exchange rate means they're worth a bit more than yours, but they're still useless. |

Wrong on at least two counts. Which are? Renting isn't necessarily more expensive when you factor in the mortgage, taxes, and upkeep on your 'investment'. I've lived in at least two apartments and a rental house where I made modifications. In one case the landlord footed the bill for materials. Finally, if you live in an RV you get to keep it. And modify it. Lot rent is quite a bit less than rental properties. Living in a tent isn't bad. I lived in my pickup for much of 1988 and 1989. Technically I suppose I was homeless but it was my choice. Home was anyplace in the US where I parked it. |

Also terminal ****wit. that the $1 coin is bigger than the $2 coin. Strange. Yeah the $1 came out first and its about as big as is sensible so that is likely why the later $2 coin is smaller, the ****wit designers didn't anticipate having a $2 coin initially. Although some of ours are the same, the 20p is smaller than the 10p for example. Its mad, I always have to stop and think about which I want to hand over because they are the opposite to what is natural. And the 50c coin is bigger again, but is silver colored and not gold colored. And we don't have 1c and 2c coins anymore, the lowest value is 5c. I don't see the point in our 1p and 2p coins. The exchange rate means they're worth a bit more than yours, but they're still useless. Yeah, complete pain in the arse. We're considering scrapping our 5c too now. |
