I don't really mind the dollar coin so much. After more than twenty years, I've gotten used to the loonie (so called, because there's a picture of a loon on one side, the Queen is on the other). I thought adding the $2 coin was a bit over-kill. We call that the toonie - a play on the loonie nick name, and the number two. Combined with the loonie, I just have too many coins in the pocket. I now tend to use my credit card for all purchases. I don't use debit because my banking package allows only 10 tx per month for free and my credit card gives me points towards grocery shopping anyway.
What I would love to come across and use are 50 cent pieces. I haven't seen these in circulation for a long time.
