For example....
Canadian usually call one doller coin ' loony'
So, two doller coin is 'toony'. I don't know the origin of those name.
they usually use the word 'nickel,dime....' or something like that. but I have never heard 'cheese ' or 'cakes'
'Bucks' is most popular. I think.

The teacher who taughtthese phrases is from Oregon,.
So these phrases, "cake","cheese"and so on are used in Oregon, perhaps.
In explanation of that phrase,these are used like
"Masa! Can I borrow some cake?"
