Great job I love your videos This one on currency was very good I learned a few things about my own money Lol The statement she made about the commemorative quarter is true Believe it or not Lol What she didn't mention is that Canada's mint, produces currency for about 18 other nations in the world Thanks again God bless and keep up the good work Phil :-)

A looney is always called a looney,

There are also occasional special "edition" banknotes which are adorned with celebratory or important scenes (I'm Canadian, BTW, in the Montreal area) I fondly recall a "fiver" with a scene of youngsters playing an unstructured hockey game on a natural frozen pond Just I did as a kid 60 years agohow tempus fugitsEh?
Comment from : Rik Levesque

The reason the dime is smaller than the nickel is because originally it was made of silver and the nickel was always made of nickel which is a less-expensive base metal

I think Canada is slowly moving to a cashless society I rarely use cash, I almost always use my debit or credit card to pay for groceries, gas, food at restaurants or fast food, etc I have money in my wallet in case I need it, but I rarely pull it out brCanadian banks were early adopters of paying with bank cards at stores (Interac) It took the US much longer to get that going We also have E-transfers at all our major banks, something that the US doesn't have So we don't need apps like Paypal, we can literally transfer money through email It's super easy and secure

Loonies (1$) and twoonies (2$) are known Canada wide,
Comment from : windy344

Comment from : Karin Dakota

So condescending, talking to us like we are all complete idiots Can't figure out that a quarter is worth 25 of a dollar Wow that's mind altering

Credit where it's due: the Aussies led the way with polymer banknotes
Comment from : Bruce McKean

Ive always wondered how do americans know how much money they have in their wallets and how do they know which bills to pick when paying? Its all green They make fun of us for our multicoloured money but at a glance i know exactly how much money i have and can pick out exactly which bill i need instantly Its my pet peeve when im in the States It takes so long to find the right bill Is there a knack or are Americans just inefficient that way?brCash is still king Covid kinda made most of use our credit cards more but since every transaction with a card steal 2-3 from the shop, i like to use cash for small businesses Some businesses are cash only to be able to stay in the black while keeping their prices reasonable Also we had a national internet malfunction last year that shut down all card readers for a day so people are remembering the benefit of cash

Comment from : Erine Jones

I've never looked at them that closely before, so it's neat to see someone delve into it I pretty much knew the "heads" side of bills though
Comment from : Fawn Hill

rumor has it that the first toonies weren't well made and you could pop the middle right out of them I've never done it thoughbrbrAlso, our bills are also supposed to be able to come out of the dryer intact as well And the almost see-thru part is supposed to be able to help keep people from forging them
Comment from : Fawn Hill

We also used to have a $1,000 bill
Comment from : L Meyer

7:42 I believe the poppy design is actually a hard enamel ink of some sort printed onto the coin
Comment from : TheHandOfFear

A nickle is called that because they used to made from nickle, Sudbury has a big nickle because the main industry in the city is (or was, I'm not sure now) the nickle mine
Comment from : Foo Bar

Loonie and twoonie is easy to say But i barely use physical money these days Just tap my debit card
Comment from : Jordan Smith

Canada was actually the first country to feature the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on its currency, the 1935 $20 note, when she was an eight-year-old princess
Comment from : l33th0b0

Cash is still very popular in Canada You gotta buy your darts from the rez But card is popular as well

A stand-up comic - sorry I can't remember his name - said using Canadian currency is like trading with Indians: This item will cost you six polar bears, three caribou, and four beavers
Comment from : TameThing

She didn't mention the five's greatest feature Old paper fives could be "Spocked" by drawing a pointed ear, a raised eyebrow and straight cut bangs over Laurier's portrait This became so widespread that the government had to ask us to stop Look up "Spocking a Fiver"
Comment from : Michael Cossaro

Our New 10$ note has incredible history behind it I believe it came out in either 2022 or 2023
Comment from : Danielle Crevier

Our paper money is made in Australia Probably why you find they look similar as the ones in Australia
Comment from : Danielle Crevier

About the queen on our coins, there are No plans to make any King Charles coins The Canadian Mint have stated
Comment from : Danielle Crevier

For the year 2000 they had a canada wide contest for kids to draw and submit designs for special quarters to be printed for the year It became a bit of a game to try and find/collect/see every designbrI think they did it again for when the Olympics came to Canada as well
Comment from : Joi Isak

Loonie and Twoonie are common vernacularbrI remember when the twoonie first came out it was very cool memory of my childhood
Comment from : Joi Isak

The monarchy is still popular in the province of Ontario I suspect it's on the way out
Comment from : David Gosselin

You need to go find the toonies featuring depictions of the northern lights We took color to entirely new levels in the last little while
Comment from : TJRune

The coins and the bills have features that aid identification for those with sight disabilities The coins used to be made of different metals (like the hexagonal nickel)
Comment from : Anne Lindsay

All the coins are different sizes but also a different shape and different finishes so visually impaired people can identify the coins just feeling them
Comment from : Lorraine Fenn

The Royal Canadian Mint also makes 💵money/currency for many foreing countries over 80brSearch "Who does the canadian mint make money for?"brIt is also some of the hardest to counterfeit in the world
Comment from : NoobTryAgain

King Charles III will replace QEII on Canadian coins in late 2023 and will replace her on the $20 bill as well
Comment from : Perri Poirier

Great reaction to our currency and so very informative (for me) Until now, I had no idea of the artistic intricacies of our money, the bills in particular I felt as excited discovering these details as you did brJust now came across your reactions to Canadian culture today, I dare say, you are so much fun Looking forward to checking out more Cheers!

Comment from : TheCynic

I used to collect stamps when I was a kid Canada (and most of the other countries in the world) had regular stamps and stamps that were works of art The American stamps were as dull as dishwater They are also one of the few countries who’s bank notes are one uniform colour across all values Boring
Comment from : TheCynic

You should investigate stories around Niagara Falls It has quite a colourful history ❤️🇨🇦
Comment from : TheCynic

We don't use cash much at all
Comment from : mike mackeen

I remember visiting the UK as a kid for the 1st time in the 1970's - one of the first things I learned is I couldn't just stuff pound notes into my pockets because they just disintegrated Canadian notes were pretty tough by comparison Another memory is being in the US in 1980 right after the 6 Iranian hostages were released with Canadian help Interest in Canada was likely at an all-time high and one of the things they were fascinated with was our orange-coloured $2 bills The going rate was $5 USD for $2 Cdn, quite the exchange!
Comment from : Brett Kendall

The 1 dollar coin is only ever known as a Loonie I can't say I've looked at the bank notes in that detail, but I will be now :)
Comment from : Chris Knowles

I did not expect her to bring up sudbury lol I'm from Sudbury The Nickel is pretty big but I feel like its bigger when you're a kid It's still big when you're bigger and I suppose when you see it for the first time it looks massive But growing up with it I guess you never really think about it
Comment from : kaylee

I was a teenager working at Tim Hortons when the 2004 poppy quarters came out I remember that morning after opening a roll of brand new quarters from the bank, I gave an older guy his change and he looked at the bright red spot and said something like "What the f* is that?" lol That was the first coin to have that kind of image They make a lot of commemorative loonies and toonies too, not just quartersbrbrI don't know how to describe it exactly, I would say a type paint or dye on top of the metal? The metal surface is textured underneath it sort of like a nail-file, maybe to keep it on better They do start to wear off on the more beaten up coins, but it's very much part of the coin and pretty durablebrbrYou'll also see commemorative coins with identical designs but without the colour added I guess they only make so many with the paint each time, and there was a toony showing the northern lights a few years ago whose paint was glow-in-the-dark
Comment from : Hiccup Hufflepuff

Loonie, dollar, a buck is common in Ontario
Comment from : B Pizza

I think Elizabeth will/should IMO, remain on the twenty The coins should follow tradition, but I'm not sure even now what is happening in the mint
Comment from : David Schmidt

We were always told that the quarter had an elk on it, not a caribou Caribou and reindeer are the same
Comment from : Trudy Ziegler

It would be more useful to put Canada's endangered species on a coin instead of a person (Not to suggest the Monarchy should be left off the endangered species list little joke, really) Educational, and because we Canadians are known to be polite, it would be the polite thing to do for the future of our environment What do you think?
Comment from : Tess

Check out our passports as well, under Blue light each pas is marvelous
Comment from : philippe lemaire

In city of Winnipeg, we make the money for us and 87 other countries due to our many protections we are able to incorporate There is also a 1 million dollar coin (they make 7) its looks like loonies but bigger and gold (worth about 7million worth of gold) We also have glow in the dark coins of dinosaurs but in dark its just their bones

The new ten dollar bill has change, now a black woman is the main figure
Comment from : Wayne Bristow

They are nice bills but they are worth diddly
Comment from : steve leslie

She didn't mention the ongoing myth that Canadian currency bills smell like maple syrup!
Comment from : PointyTailofSatan

The Canadian Mint may have made the Thai coins in your pocketbr"Since opening its doors in 1976, the Mint's Winnipeg facility has produced coinage for over 70 countries: centavos for Cuba, kroner for Norway, fils for Yemen, pesos for Colombia, króna for Iceland, baht for Thailand, and a thousand-dollar coin for Hong Kong" - GooglebrI didn't know about the veiws of Parliament on our billsbrMy grandfather (from Edinburgh) was wounded at Vimy Back to binging your vidsbrSorry, jumping back in: William Lyon Mackenzie King was a loonie, I think the coin was named after him :-)

Comment from : Twink

Canada has used debit cards for a lot longer than the US Most people will use either credit or debit to pay Paypass is pretty much ubiquitous so people can also pay with their phone if it has an RFID capable SIM, which is pretty much par for the course now
Comment from : NyxErebus

Canadians still use cash although debit and credit cards are used regularly as well 🇨🇦😊
Comment from : D Matthews

Mackenzie also held séances in the Prime Minister’s house He was kind of weird
Comment from : Wolfwow5

When the toonie was first introduced, people were popping out the middle section by freezing the toonies The metal shrunk different amounts so the middle would pop out fairly easily brbrThe Canadian Mint fixed the issue that allowed this to happen So if you find a 1996 toonie, you could try to pop it out But that is defacing official currency and is illegal
Comment from : Wolfwow5

The most western province, British Columbia would not join Confederation unless there was a railroad to connect to the East rather than south to the US

Comment from : steph lane

The $1 coin with a loon on it was introduced by the government of Brian Mulroney in 1987 It replaced the $1 bill with a coin At the time many people refereed to it as the Mul-loonie or Mulroney's loonie and they called Mulroney a loony Over time the Canadian dollar has began to be called the loonie interchangeably with the dollar There was a scandal and recall of the first batch of twonies put out by the Royal Canadian Mint as the centre sections were falling out Having to carry coins around is much less convenient than bank notes and many of us who remember using $1 and $2 bills are still not happy about the coins One friend of mine in the military refereed to Canadian money as "shrapnel"brbrAlso, yes, it's very rare to use real money in Canada anymore Everyone uses bank cards, credit cards or other electronic payment methods
Comment from : Jimmy J

In answer to your question, yes King Charles the 2nd will now replace Queen Elizabeth on our money

The Indigenous people of Northern Canada aren't referred to as First Nations (those are other Indigenous Canadians) they call themselves Inuit and that's what everyone should call them

Comment from : 29maurice

Everyone calls it a Loonie That is just the way it is We will never say "this costs three loonies" We'll still say it's three dollars, or three bucks But a Loonie is a loonie across Canada Even the French side, although they'll often use the French word for loon (huard), but it's not common in everyday speech
Comment from : 29maurice

Fun fact: A quarter is often called a "trente sous" in French Trente means thirty Go figure (well, there's a perfectly understandable reason, but I won't explain here)
