  As a west coast Canadian, I have literally never heard them called a loonie store.

    Interesting. It’s definitely a thing in use just across the mountains, although dollar store is also in the mix.

      Three Canadian dollars is equivalent to an American nickel.

  Yup. So-called because of the loon on the tail of the coin. The two-dollar coin is called the toonie by analogy.

  (We say dollar store sometimes too)
