2 DOLLARS
Description:
Polar bear, name of country and denomination.
Canada's 2 dollar coin first appeared in 1996. Unlike the introduction of the 1 dollar coin, nobody seemed to mind that the 2 dollar bill was going away. Canadians immediately nicknamed it the "twoonie", proving that a meaningful name is not an absolute necessity. In 2006, Canada issued this coin to celebrate 10 years of itself.
