Who's head is on the Canadian Dollar?

[DekuScrubby]

Or for that matter, who's head is on your specific currency?

Seriously. I have no idea who got their face on the CAD.

I'm Canadian! Let's see...

uhhh..gimme a second while I search, It might be all different people on different coins.

Yeah, that's right, our single dollars are coins, called a "Loonie" (there's a Loon, that's a bird, on one side). We also have a "Toonie" or Twonie, I dunno, I spell it Toonie. It has a a Polar Bear on one side. The center is brass/bronze or copper or whatever, and the outer ring is silver or zine or something. It looks really cool. And there's a polar bear on the inner ring.

Ok, the Elizabeth the second is on the other side of the Loonie. That's friggin's stupid. Why is she on all of our coins? She doesn't even have a real place in our government.

Looks like it's the same for the Toonie. Stupid Queen.

Here's a page with all Canadian coins, for the rest.

"A federation comprising ten provinces and three territories, Canada is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state." ~Wikipedia


There may be more to it than that, I'm sure, but we're still quite a part of the British. And she's still our Queen.

She's on our old 5 I think. But now it's a bunch of stupid kids playing road hockey further enforcing the steryotype that all Canadian children like to play hockey.
