One thing I like to do, when Americans come into my store and are confused by Canadian money when trying to pay for stuff, I pick up the toonie and tell them, “This is a penny. I need 186 of them to pay for your coffee.”
They catch on real quick that the toonie is not a penny.
You Canahoodians just love yer coins, doncha? And all that funny colored paper monopoly money, too!
I went to Canada this last summer. The Canadian dollar at that time was worth about 1.16 US Dollars. Exchanging money in Canada was an eye opener as to the devaluation of the US Dollar.
I believe the Canadian Dollar is now worth 1.0028 US Dollars. According to the XE Currency converter.
Of course when I visited Romania about eight years ago I converted $30.00 to one million lei.
