A discussion for the Canadian members
 
If you could change the name of our curency, what would you change it to?

Sa'ar Chasm 06-05-2006 12:21 AM

Bob.

No, wait, Doug.

I dunno...I kinda like the idea of calling it Bob. it has a very nice ring to it, and when people say 'All Hail Bob!' we can assume it to be our money. Very classy.

I'm afraid we have first dibs on bob.
Get you own bloody new name for money!

whenever we travelled to another country we called the currency in that country 'schnuppel'....so we didn't get confused when leaving one country for another one...like US for Canada...we just kept saying: how much is it? ah ic 20 schnuppel....
the only thing we had to keep in mind was the rate of the day *g*

Name it after subatomic particles. A hundred quarks would make a gluon, ten would be a photon, twenty-five would be a lepton, fifty would be a muon, and a hundred would be one boson. There would also be a two boson coin, called a Higgs boson, but no-one would ever know what they look like.

The currency itself would be called the baryon (which would quickly become the universal currency), but anyone carrying around significant quantities would unfortunately be at a much higher risk of attack by photino birds.

We could name it the Loonie

There seems to be one on all our coins and bills anyways *hides*

Call it the Altairian Dollar.

(mwahaha?)
