There is no official spelling. It’s a colloquial word. All are correct: Twonie, toonie, Twony, toony etc.

It's a Canadian 2 dollar coin. Strippers in Canada carried magnets to pick them up

You can spell the word any number of ways. You don't need to downvote because you disliked the spelling at the time.

Here.

"Toonie" is a portmanteau word combining the number "two" with the name of the loonie, Canada's one-dollar coin. It is occasionally spelled "twonie" or "twoonie", but Canadian newspapers and the Royal Canadian Mint use the "toonie" spelling.

Spin the Twoonie, drive the train past it backwards as it falls down, reverse the video.
