Fore did hint that the mint would like to strike a bimetallic coin.

Perhaps a two dollar coin could help to ease a one dollar coin into circulation since you wouldn't need to get more than two coins in change.

I recently was in Quebec for a week on vacation, and found the loonies and twoonies ($2 coins) very handy to use. Not having a wad of $1 bills is very handy also.

Canadians also never have to deal with faulty $1 bill readers on vending machines!!

What do you think of the Canadian one dollar coins?

Hint: they're about the same size and color as Sacagawea dollars.

Here's your picture:

I use a twoonie to mark my golf ball on the green.

Canada had it figured out. Put $1 and $2 bills and coins in circulation at the same time. Then let the bills attrit and you have made the conversion. Very smart.

An outstanding coin IMO. I have a complete set of the silver/gold proofs.

Didn't the mint already strike a bimetalic coin ( the 2000 Library of Congress commem)? Also, aren't all the clad coins bimetalic?

They're not that smart to use those $1 and $2 coins together.................

2000 - Library of Congress $10 - gold ring, platinum center.

Clad coins are not a bi-metallic per se. A real bi-metal (or in the case of two pre-euro French and Monaco coins) a tri-metallic is a ring and a center (or plug). If you want to see some cool bi-metals, go to www.wbcc-online.com as they have everything on that subject and more. I'm a member and have contributed from time to time.

Those twoonie are beauty. Loonies and Twoonies are very useful for daily spendings such as parking,buying coffee.

I wish I could metal detect in Canada. Detectorist up there can really clean up in just a few hours with $1 and $2 coins being lost!
