Boring trivia ...
In Canada, we have a coin instead of a $1 bill. It's nicknamed a Loonie because the coin bears a picture of a loon. We have a coin instead of a $2 bill. Nicknamed a Toonie. (In The Villages, Canadians have started a Canadian Club which has over 600 members. It's called The Loonies and Toonies Club.)

The coins may last a long time, but they sure make your wallet heavy!
