On 20 October 2012, it was proposed that this article be moved to Canadian 2 dollar coin. The result of the discussion was no consensus. |

Toonie → Canadian 2 dollar coin – Page was moved and renamed Toonie without warning or discussion. Toonie is a nickname and isn't even the proper spelling, as there are several other variant spellings of the nickname. Twoonie, Twonie, Twooney, Twoney, etc. The page should be moved back to its proper name with its nicknames referenced in the lead. UrbanNerd ( talk) 15:11, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
Unless Canada withdraws the older coins and makes them worthless, whats to stop someone from counterfeiting the old version? 2605:E000:AA1F:E400:68C9:409C:99D:83B1 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:49, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
The assertion of alternative spellings ("also spelled twonie or twoonie") needs to either be finally bolstered with some references or backup, once and for all, or removed. The idea was first introduced on 30 April 2004 by an anonymous user at 130.49.146.60, and should have been challenged right then at the time for a reference and backup . https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Toonie&oldid=3261027 . I am a literate, reasonably well-educated and well-read Canadian, and I have literally never come across anyone in any form of media who says toonie contains, or should contain, a "w"." If nothing else, such an assertion constitutes "original research" and should be disqualified on those grounds. Randal Oulton ( talk) 16:31, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
