Am I the first to think of this?

Postby AGgressive Metal » Tue Apr 05, 2011 5:35 am

We call post-82s Zincolns, so I thought I'd call post-97 Canadian cents Queels! :lol: Or maybe Steelizabeths. :P If Maggie was the Iron Lady, Elizabeth is the Steel Queen, now. :P It works for post-91 British pennies too!

Queels it is, then. Good call.

The other one is too long to catch on.
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.

I prefer Steelizabeth's.

Queels doesn't evoke a thought of "steel" well enough.

One problem though: All Canadian modern coinage is steel, so this may not be specific enough.

You could always put denomination in front. 1 queel, 10 queel, 25 queel etc.

Some of the Canadian cents are zinc-
1997 to 1999
Composition: 98.4% zinc, 1.6% copper plating
Weight (g): 2.25
Diameter (mm): 19.05
Thickness (mm): 1.45

2000 to date
Composition: 94% steel, 1.5% nickel, 4.5% copper plating or copper plated zinc
Weight (g): 2.35
Diameter (mm): 19.05
Thickness (mm): 1.45

I do not know if that helps with a name...

For what its worth I like steelizabeths or maybe just steel queens.

I'm waiting for some of our Canadian friends to weigh in on this.

Steel Lizzies

A little easier to get out than steelizabeths, I think.
