Tomorrow is Canada Day

June 30, 1987
The Royal Canadian Mint introduced the $1 coin, affectionately known as the Loonie, on this date.

It bears images of a common loon, a bird which is common and well known in Canada, on the reverse, and of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. It is produced by the Royal Canadian Mint at its facility in Winnipeg.

(This will be on the test.)
