Upon its introduction, the loonie coins were composed of aureate, a specific material which is a combination of bronze and nickel with an electroplating process.

This composition was used for a significant period until changes were made.

Starting from 2007, a new production process began for some loonie blanks. These blanks were produced using a cyanide-free brass plating process, marking a shift from the traditional method.

Further changes were implemented in the second quarter of 2012. The composition of the loonie coins was altered to multi-ply brass-plated steel.
