hahaha.

that's funny.

[Dr. Boogie]

Is that the exchange rate now? $42.95 American for $4 Canadian?

[Dimnos]

No. I think its just the price of the "collectors item" or some shit. I believe their dollar is still worth just a little less than our own.

[Tadao]

I don't get the joke. :(

[Dimnos]

Just that they have an awesome coin with a T-Rex Skeletor on it. What do we get... Sacagawea?

[Tadao]

Oh, so it wasn't a joke them ;_;

[stevetothepast]

canadian dollar usually sits at about 88-95 cents to the american dollar.

[Dimnos]

Oh, so it wasn't a joke them ;_;

No not really. If it was it was just a small weak one. More of a "Aww dude thats cool. Why cant we have that?"

[Tadao]

Oh, I'm sure their fake money will cross the border. I still have a jar full of the useless things.

[Dimnos]

Most of their coins feel like plastic.

[stevetothepast]

In God we Trust.

[Dr. Boogie]

It would be funnier if this was something the Canadian government was doing, rather than just some overpriced collector coin.

[The Leader]

That doesn't even look like him...

[MLE]

They forgot the sting ray.

[Zhukov]

I just want to know why the crikey fuck he deserved a coin. Everyone in this country actively hates him.

[Evil Robot]

Like that fag Paul Hogan?

[executioneer]

how do they feel about mel gibson, hugh jackman and ac/dc

[Zhukov]

Paul Hogan = legend mate
Mel Gibson = Kiwi
Hugh Jackman = Well, he's a bit of a ponce but he's alright mate
AC/DC = Legend mate

[Evil Robot]

Yahoo Serious?

[Zhukov]

Legend maaaate.

[Big Papa Goat]

For what it's worth, I don't think Canada actually has 4 dollar coins, let alone 4 dollar t-rex coins.

[Dimnos]

I think its just one of those collectors items you see on tv. Like commemorative plates or something.
