https://lemmy.world/post/26051304He asks the nurse: “Where am I?”
“Washington DC,” the nurse replies.
“And the trade war with Canada?”
“We won that years ago.”
Elated, he asks, “And how much does a carton of eggs cost?”
“Just onetoonieeh?”Shouldn't that last line be :
"Just one loonie, eh ?"-
Nope, "toonie" is the nickname of the two-dollar coin and perfectly fine in context. (I suppose it's also a double-whammy, since I don't recall the US having a two-dollar denomination . . .)

Plaisir, sans problème. Aussi j'ai recherché pour la possibilité d'une erreur sur le mot "loonie" et en fait ce n'est pas une erreur :
::: spoiler toonie
(selon un LLM) That's not a typo. In Canada, a "toonie" is actually the informal name for a two-dollar coin. The name "toonie" is derived from the word "two" and the fact that the one-dollar coin is called a "loonie." So, the two-dollar coin became known as the "toonie." It's a widely recognized and commonly used term in Canadian culture. :::
