The $1 were phased out in 1987 and I believe it was 1996 when they introduced the toonie. It was strange at first, but now everyone has become accustomed.<BR/><BR/>But what's funny is that whenever I visit the USA, which is ever so now and then, I'm always surprised to get so many bills in my change! So I guess it's all relative. :)Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08571315175379688615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158354613195921037.post-76863347018502034862008-12-05T21:17:00.000-08:002008-12-05T21:17:00.000-08:00"it's easy to use your bank card to withdraw some ..."it's easy to use your bank card to withdraw some Canadian dollars when you arrive"<BR/><BR/>Easy, and surprising, too, when an unsuspecting American such as, oh, I don't know, like, for instance, <B><I>me</I></B> suddenly discovers that you people <B>don't have $1.00 bills but $1 & $2 <I>coins</I></B> which can weigh you down and cause you to list to one side if you end up with very many of them, especially since they're fairly large, particularly the toonies. There oughta be really BIG billboards strategically placed explaining this to naive foreigners.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, of course, I adore Canada and hope to visit again in another year or two, equipped, of course, with seriously reinforced pockets.Hedgiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03073063597585826524noreply@blogger.com
