Except there is that factor called the border, where random inspections do happen and rightfully, agents are vigilant. Outside of that, a great plan.

You're forgetting that you buy things in Canada with the Canadian dollar, it's like 2 for 1 right?

So if you don't live close enough to Canada to know, they have a $1 coin with a picture of a Canadian Loon on the back. Naturally, the coin has been nicknamed the "loonie" due to the picture.Bradley Bogdan wrote:You're forgetting that you buy things in Canada with the Canadian dollar, it's like 2 for 1 right?
Canada also has a $2 coin, which even though it doesn't have a picture of a Loon on it has been nicknamed the "toonie".
So the joke goes... you know why Canada has a Toonie? So they can have a coin that's actually worth $1.

So that's why they put two coins together
and wound up Looney Tunes?
