And about the coins, at least there shouldn't be many pennies. I just found out 14 loonies weigh slightly less than a pound. Had trouble finding how much a toonie weighs. If I were closer I just might make a bid.
SORRY, but I was way off on this originally. It actually takes nearly 65 loonies to make a pound.

there is some question about my finances - not where they should have been or had planned - if the bids even go slightly higher than they went last week on the same buses, I`m going to be out of luck - keeping my fingers crossed though - I think these buses should be almost ideal for what I want

"Loonies," I get. Got a forum-full of 'em, right here!
As a life-long animation aficionado, I reckon I'm a "Toonie," too...

Care to share a visually helpful description of the aforementioned nomenclature, so's to maybe make a valuation determination from the images provided, if ya please. Since I will be going to Denver in the appropriate bidding/collection time frame, it may be worth pursuing.
Not that it's real money... [emoji6]

Loonies are a golden colored coin, all one color, fairly large, with the Queen on one side and most of them have a loon swimming in a lake on the other side, but there are several less common variations.
Toonies are slightly larger, and two colors of metal, golden-colored in the center and silver-colored closer to the edge. Most toonies have pictures of polar bears on the back, but there are different pictures of bears, and also minor variants that have something else besides bears.
I am describing them from looking at several. Neither loonies or toonies look anything like an American coin. Hope that helps.

It does. Thank you!
Saw a dozen or better Loonies in the coupla pix I enlarged. And a handful of Toonies, too. Piles of pennies, mounds of nickles, considerable quarters.
Those were the two that plumb evaded me.

Thanx, but I'll still need to find the equivalencies on those loony tunes coins. [emoji57]
Later, during a cool off break!

the Loonie is worth .75 US, and the Toonie is worth $1.50 USD
1 Canadian Dollar equals
0.76 United States Dollar

Thanx, now must analyze, interpolate, extrapolate, extricate, estimate, calculate, and nominate what the total coinage may be. Easy! [emoji849]

"Next" is the single most troublesome word in my life.. Wifey and I don't seem to use the same definition. It caused me to take a cab from Harrisberg Pa to NYC to catch a flight to LA in order to make my next work shift--don't ask what that cost!

I'd speculate more than the flight's cost...
