I moved to Japan about 16 years ago and my family who is visiting me showed me the new King Charles loonie. When I put it in hand, it felt much thinner than what I remember. Is this because it IS actually thinner or am I just too used to Japanese coins?

idk, but I noticed something similar about hamburgers of a big chain seeming to shrink over the years and thought its shrinkflation. It took me years to realize: It was just me growing.

    As a non canadian scrolling all. This title was so confusing. Nice chuckle for the morning once I read and realize you where talking about a coin.

    I doubt it, because many coin-operated mechanisms are designed to measure the weight of coins before accepting them.

    I honestly don't think I've seen a King Charles loonie. If I have, I didn't notice the difference in size. Still seems strange to me that coins or currency doesn't have the Queen still.
