Quick question.

We call it a loonie, because it has a loon on it. Seen below. It was our first change over from paper money for small currency, to coin. Then we came out with a 2 dollar version...and just decided to have it rhyme. It has a polar bear on it.

yeah $10 is a sawbuck, $20 is a double sawbuck. But I don't recall ever hearing sawbuck used in a conversation, except one about currency slang.
