Question about Canadian money

thank god for that..coin money is the devil!

 

what would we we name the five doller coin? the fanoonie?
...and ya, the government had this wierd plan to switch to coinage for the $5 bill and with the money they saved as a result of having to produce less bills (they have to be replaced more often than coins) they were going to dump those savings into some do-goodery program which has now escaped memory...this plan has been scrapped, because most Canadians saw it for what it was; stupid, the $5 bill is here to stay...for now...

...and really, you all complain about more bulk in your pockets, but how cool would a $5 coin be? come on, we could put a canoe on it, with trudeau on the front, or maybe just trudeau in a canoe, he liked canoes

as for the whole $50 bill conundrum, go to a bank and switch up for 2 $20s and a $10, problem solved, bob's your uncle

 

how did you know bob was my uncle???

 

a 5$ coin, IMO, would be impracticle...it could get lost too easily, unless it was the size of your palm..

the 2$ is perfect

 

I made it btw, weather here in Orangeville has been brilliant except for yesterday morning :sunglasse

 

They could always have gone the Aussie route and printed their money on indestructible plastic.

 

Which places are those? I've been a traveler but I've lived in Canada my entire life. I've never come across anywhere that hasn't accepted any dollar bills less than $100.00. It's the 100 dollar bills that are checked for counterfit.

 

Oh, as for "too much coinage" to carry around.. that's why someone on here should patent an idea for some kind of coin wallet. Maybe a coin dispenser but cooler. hehe. I'm sure a lot of tired canadian will buy it as opposed to having their pockets weighed down in metals.

 

i have a coin wallet! and no, it's not like those little purses your grandma carries around.

 

bob's your uncle, you are too cool. love the humour about trudeau!
