    I just got my first Chucky Buck this weekend, we can’t switch to a new currency this quickly! Our economy is in shambles!

      See mate, the mint make a profit on money, do you think it costs £50 to run off one of them little plastic things.

      Edit: just realised you were one of our dear Canadian brethren. See hoser, the Canadian mint make a profit on money, you think it costs a loonie to strike of them little metal things?

        Sadly the Canadian mint takes a loss on every coin and bill. Every $50 note they create actually costs about $65 (with the tip).
