dollar (or "loonie" because it has a picture of the Canadian Loon on it)
two dollar coin (or "twoonie" because its 2 loonies in worth)
Feel our pain lugging all this coin around.

No. You have to match every vowel/consonant sound for it to rhyme. Otherwise, it's technically not a true rhyme.

Though it may have been one beginning with m... whichever it was apparently there is one...
Rather, should I say, jokable facts...
For example:
"A dime has 118 ridges around the edge"
I am sure not all dimes in human history had 118 edges...
"A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes."
Hmm...
"Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. "
"At birth, an infants eyes are about two-thirds the size of adult eyes. Until after their first month of life, most newborns lack complete retinal development, especially in the area responsible for visual acuity. From the second year of life until puberty, eye growth progressively slows. After puberty, eye growth is negligible."
Now, I am sure there are probably exceptions to each fact, but whatever...I think I am being to critical...

And Jiffy,

clock. Often one AC cycle time (1/60 second in the US and
Canada, 1/50 most other places), but more recently 1/100 sec
