Two Colors, Two Dollars

I have traveled to Canada many times in my life but their money always seems like play money to me! This is a practice shot with my new lenses.

we rather like our "toonie" ;)

I found one of these the other day in the grandchilldrens treasure chest. Great shot. Must tell you I live in Australia.

[Michele]

It is a lot more colorful than ours!!

@christinesmith Oooh! I didn't know it had a name!! ;~} thanks for the visit and comment Christine!!

[katy]

@tesssa Thanks so much for the comment! That "toonie" has traveled a long way! I'll bet that is an interesting story.

[katy]

@michele66 I thought so too!

[christine smith]

heh - it's called a toonie because our one dollar coin has a picture of a loon on it and we call it a "loonie". (and it's nice to "only have change" but find you have over 12 dollars in your purse!)

[katy]

@christinesmith I appreciate the clarification! I know what you mean about have $12 in change! Ours would weigh too much probably if we had that amount in change!

[Deb]

Nice macro of the toonie!

[katy]

@deburahiru LOL! you catch on fast! thanks, Deb!

[Kimberly Balychev]

Hehe I live in Canada and it feels like play money to me too :) haha Lovely shot!

[Gerry]

fav love the detail from the coin and i like the Bear in the middle of the coin Katy

[Rick Schies]

I enjoy keeping samples of other monies. Don't believe I have any like this though

[katy]

@kbalychev Now that is funny! Thanks, Kimberly!

[katy]

@gerry I appreciate it, Gerry! thanks so much!

@digitalrn I had forgotten I had it too! I keep it in a drawer to give to grandkids one day.

Great detail and lighting! I'd be jealous of your new lenses/filters, but I am so not into "doing" my photography right now it would be totally wasted on me. I am definitely on the countdown until retirement and I can have time to do the things I want to do rather than the things I have to do! It's a good thing I actually like my job... :)

@marilyn I had mixed feelings about them ! It takes me a while to warm up to change! Definitely something to work on. I think this is from our sister trip.
