  CANADA'S NAME OUR $2 COIN POLAR BEAR CONTEST
  

  Stephen P. Woodland writes: "The five names available for people
  to vote on in the "Name Our Polar Bear" contest were: Churchill,
  Makwa, Plouf, Sacha, and Wilbert."
  

  [So - the contest was for naming the bear depicted ON the coin,
  not for naming the coin itself. -Editor]
  

  John Regitko adds: "Since the voting is now over, the specific
  webpage might no longer be up and running. When the two-dollar
  coin was first introduced in Canada, a number of nicknames were
  suggested before "Toonie" was popularized. Some examples include
  Bearly, Deuce, Doubloonie and Polar.
  

  There is no longer a $5 coin in the works. It was voted down in
  a survey commissioned by, I believe, the Royal Canadian Mint and
  the Bank of Canada."
