A Loonie is a dollar because it has a picture of a bird called a Loon on it and the new two dollar bit is a toonie. The confusing context being when and old mad bloke comes up to you on the high street and says "Can you spare a Loonie?".......
There seems to be a big craze for tattooing here and loads have people have been "inked". A tattoo at the bottom of a ladie's back is a tramp stamp. There you go, you learn something everyday!
