June 20th, 2017: Money Slang

HitTheLake · 06-20-2017, 10:16 AM

This wikipedia page has a bunch, but the Canadian ones were the ones I was after. I live CLOSE to Canada, so it was a natural place to visit. But when I was told at a campground that it cost a loonie to use the shower, I honestly had NO idea what they were saying. Ha!
Canadian (and other) money slang terms

Good point Jim, I forgot about businesses have their own jargon like the Cockneys.

Lake, I knew about the Loonie and Toonie, but not the rest of the Canuck terms.
