Celebrating25 Years of Canada's Iconic Loonie
In 2012, the Royal Canadian Mint celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Loonie - the iconic Canadian one-dollar coin bearing the image of the common loon. Like its namesake, the Loonie has proven resilient and emblematic.
In 1987, there was no online banking, no in-store debit - even bank machines were a new idea. Canada's one-dollar currency was a paper banknote, and the idea of remplacing lightweight paper money with coinagecame with some debate. But replacing the green, black, and whiet one-dollar bill, which had a lifespan of only nine to twelve months compared to a coin's twenty-year lifetime, would save Canadians millions of dollars.
The new one-dollar circulation coin was one of the biggest changes to Canadian coinage in fifty years, but the idea of a one-dollar coin in Canada wasn't completely new. The voyageur dollar, whose reverse image was designed by Toronto sculptor Emmanuel Hahn, circulated in silver from 1935 to 1967 and in nickel from 1968 to 1987. This image of a fur trader and a native Canadian paddling a canoe was originally chosen for the new one-dollar coin in the mid-1980s. But in November of 1986, the master dies (molds) for the new one-dollarVoyageur coin inexplicably disappeared somewhere between the Mint's Ottawaa and Winnipeg facilities.
To protect against possible forgeries using the missing dies, the federal governement chose Ontario artist Robert-Ralph Carmicheal's common loon design as the replacement. When the new coin came into circulation in June 1987, Canadian had already dubbed it the ''Loonie,'' referring to its reverse image of a common loon.
Some groups had extra reason to celebrate the Lonnie, though. The visually impaired would fint it much easier to distinguish the unique eleven-sided coin, something that was impossible with the old one-dollar banknotes. And as one-dollar notes were phased out, buses, subways, and streetcars had fewer problems with paper-jammed fare boxes.
