Almost don't have time to write this as I am trying to sort a few rolls before work.

The RCM's wonderful new (cost-saving) loonies and toonies don't work in Toronto parking meters, necessitating an expensive overhaul.

The savings keep on coming.

And it's not only Toronto parking meters. It might be all of them.

This seems like a good reason to issue more parking violations.

Maybe on a day off I should wander around offering to sell "old style" loonies at a price of 4 for $5
to people desperate to park. ^_^
