On the other hand, you're dead right that loonies and toonies (the
latter seems to be the more common spelling, at least in Toronto) pile
up easily in one's pocket. I reserve one pocket for quarters,
loonies, toonies, and transit tokens. A couple of days ago I discovered
that I had accumulated $35 there (plus eight transit tokens, but I buy
those ten at a time and don't use them fast because I prefer walking).
Think of it as a portable piggy bank.
This happens when people don't spend their change and pull out paper every time. (My wife does that.) I spend the change down so it doesn't build up.
