    As an American, I think Canadian currency is beautiful! I really dig it. I also love the transparent parts included and the Hologram effect. Very very nice monies.

    It should also be noted that officially our coins are not called “penny”, “nickel”, “dime” or “quarter”. They are actually “1-cent piece”, “5-cent piece”, “10-cent piece”, “25-cent piece”. However, we do use the “traditional” dime, nickel, and quarter in general life.
    It should also be noted that the 1-cent piece is still legal tender and you can still use them in cash transactions.
    As well, you seemed to have forgotten our 50-cent piece which is still produced. Granted, it isn’t generally circulated anymore by the mint but was as recently as 2002 and can still be used as legal tender in any cash transaction.

      ​@@VisitTorontoVideos That's the back (reverse). The Queen is on the front (obverse). Just because the fronts all have the same person on them, it still seems odd to not at least show one.

    Thank you for sharing details. They were insightful. One of the good things about Canadian money bills is its form, a polymer based compound bill that stays good for long duration from the issued date.
    I have a question here. Do Canadian bills work in U.S.A.?

    • @VisitTorontoVideos
      @VisitTorontoVideos  11 місяців тому

      Typically Canada will accept US$ - with a bad exchange rate- but I have never seen a US outlet accept Canadian $. Not even when we had pennies. They would give us back the Canadian 1 cent.

    With the Polymer bills years ago when they came out, everyone from people I talked to in canada and America said they smelled like maple syrup but when I handled them, I didn't notice anything other than just, neutral plastic smell.
    Then over the years I noticed as these kept going around and round, some of them did start smelling like maple syrup to me.
    I think its just the inks they use.

    No 50c coin is shown. They are still minted and still legal tender, but you will rarely see them. Even $10 bills are getting scarce - I'm usually given two 5's in change instead of one $10.

    I have a jar of random coins from countries and canadian stuff, and I keep a bunch of pennies of which one is a 1930's King Georgie Penny.
    Sadly the one time I looked it up thinking I might have a rare coin, turns out its not one of the rare King George Pennies worth I think like 1300 Canadian dollars.
    Oh well, the pennies are still interesting to me, along with the 50 cent coins, commemerative coins, and foreign coins like an egyptian pound
