 Nothing makes you feel old quite like marking the 25^th anniversary of something you recall taking place with absolute clarity.

Particularly when the celebratory object in question gets a brand new special edition facelift to mark the occasion.
But those of us who were old enough to retain memories from 1987 will likely recall the birth of the loonie — Canada's shiny, gold-coloured one-dollar coin — and the story of how we came close to calling the now-iconic coin something very different.
Can you imagine referring to our one-dollar piece as the trapper? (Or even worse — the "furry"?)
It almost happened.
