To buy up some Port in California, drive up to Vancouver, and sell out of the back of your trunk?

Except there is that factor called the border, where random inspections do happen and rightfully, agents are vigilant. Outside of that, a great plan. [dash1.gif] :mrgreen:

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.

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. :lol:

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