The one dollar Loonie is 11-sided and made from an alloy the Royal Canadian Mint calls aureate (bronze-plated nickel.) As noted before, the two dollar Toonie is bi-metallic, from 1996 to 2011 it had an outer ring of pure nickel, with a center made of a primarily copper alloy.
The Canadian dollar continued its drop against the U.S. dollar, slipping Wednesday below 80 cents US. (Paul Chiasson/Canadian Press) At official exchange rates, the dropping value of the loonie means it now costs more than $1.25 to buy a U.S. dollar.
