Canada fucking rocks. I want more coins like that in the world. So cool.

I have no real commentary here. Just... wooo, Abstract cartoon moose quarters. Welcome to my kind of world.

How incredibly cute! It's like having Rocky and Bullwinkle as your national currency...makes me wonder what they have in store further down the line.

Oh, we have a long history of wacky, goofy, seditious art on our currency. For example, our two-dollar coin has a picture of the Queen of England, with a bear behind!

It's true. Look for yourself. (http://www.mint.ca/en/catalogue/products/624714)

That's my Great Aunt Tupper. She had great dignity but, she also was practical, so she worked for http://www.nelvana.com/ for a while. Until she became too 'unhip' for the pretentariti (something about her tappen addiction), so, now her likeness is on that particular coin

I can't wait for the cinq dollar coin
