woot! polar bear
that is the Canadian Two Dollar coin known as a twonie.
do most vending machines take $2 coins, or is $1 the max?
they do take twonies. Rarer are the machines that take notes.
Not taking bills is no big loss. Those things can be quite cantankerous.
It would be nice if the US gov, could finally figure out a decent dollar coin.
actually, the current one ain't bad. just rarely used.
