Canadians will receive a new one loonie coin slightly larger than a quarter featuring a loon on one side and the Queen on the other. It is yellow gold in color and weighs seven grams with a pure nickel core and copper tin coating.

Dollar bills will stay legal tender until the end of 1988, then gradually withdrawn starting in 1989.
