loonies
Oddball people, slangily
Loonies is the plural of loonie, the Canadian one-dollar coin.
The name comes from the loon depicted on its reverse side.
Canadians use the term casually: I've got a handful of loonies in my pocket.
The two-dollar coin, introduced later, became the toonie.
Separately, loonies is the plural of loony—crazy people or things.
