> The 1986 Canadian $2 bill was withdrawn in February 1996 and replaced with the newfangled bi-metallic $2 coin (stamped with a polar-bear in aluminum bronze, and ringed with bright nickel). We call this polo coin the "twooney" in Eastern Canada.

"Twooney"? As opposed to "toonie"? Cause that's what we in western Canada call it. Pronounced the same, varied spelling? Different pronounciations? (The internet makes it difficult to tell.)
