this is all the information I need .thank you.

I'm glad to have been able to help you find the information that you
needed! As mentioned above, there is a replica of a Canadian $2 coin
that's 18 feet across in the town of Campbellford, Ontario.

More on the huge coin:

"Try Campbellford, Ontario, home of Brent Townsend, the wildlife
artist who designed the Toonie (or $2 coin for non-Canadians). In
recognition of his achievement they erected a giant toonie. This
toonie is 27 Feet (8.2 Metres) high and 18 Feet (5.5 Metres) in
diameter."

"The town of Campbellford, with a population of approximately 3500
people, is nestled along the banks of the Trent River and is
especially busy in the summer as boaters make their way along the
Trent Severn Waterway. Campbellford is home to Brent Townsend, the
artist who created the Polar Bear image on our 'toonie'. A giant
'toonie' has been erected in Old Mill Park by the tourist center. It
measures 8.2m (27 feet) high by 5.5m (18 feet) wide and offers a great
photo opportunity."
