An enterprising slut in Des Moines
Makes a fortune selling her groin;
There’s a slot in her slit,
Where dollar bills fit,
But not the Canadian coin.
The gold-colored one-dollar Canadian coin introduced in 1987 is colloquially known as the loonie, due to the image of the common loon, a diving bird, on its reverse side. In October, 2022, the Royal Canadian Mint confirmed that a new “loonie,” commemorating the 175th anniversary of Alexander Graham Bell’s birthday, entered circulation.
