Canadian money. Our one dollar bill has been replaced with a large gold coin called a loonie. The two dollar bill has been replaced by a large silver and gold coin called a toonie. The rest of our bills are brightly coloured to help distinquish the dollar value of each bill at a glance. Our money is all manufactured at the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg, Manitoba. If you visit Winnipeg you can take a tour through the mint and watch the money being made. I did this when the mint was first opened there and it's really interesting. For further information see this website.

There is also a mint in Ottawa but it is more of a heritage site although I believe it is still where commemorative coins, etc. are made.

Some of the best money on the planet! CDN Dollar, every ten can buy you nine American ones, we're about equal to Swiss Francs and the Aussie Dollar. Because our mint realized that coloured ink has been invented, we are able to allow our bills to look a little less circa 1852 (not mentioning any names, USA!) We have 1, 5, 10, and 25 cent coins as well as 1 and 2 dollar coins, the latter of which is gold and silver. Canada: the only country in the world where you can find $43 in change in your pocket.

Canadian dollars, but most places (especially tourist places) will accept US dollars as well. They will give you Canadian $ change & they probably will not give you a very good exchange rate in a store. It's better to use Canadian $ or credit cards. We had trouble using our Discover Card in Canada, but all other CC worked.

We use Canadian money in Canada. The coins are one cent, five cents, ten cents, twenty-five cents, one dollar and two dollars. The bills are five dollars, ten dollars, twenty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars. You can get larger denominations of bills from a bank, but many stores don't like to accept them as they are not in common circulation and are susceptible to counterfeiting, whereas the lesser denominations are familiar to everyone.
