  Canadian dollar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In French, the currency is also called le dollar; Canadian French slang terms include piastre or piasse (equivalent to "buck," but the original word used in eighteenth-century French to translate "dollar") and huard (equivalent to "loonie"), since huard is French for "loon", the animal appearing on the coin.
Canadian coins are issued by the Royal Canadian Mint and struck at their facilities in Winnipeg.
The most significant recent developments in Canadian currency were the withdrawal of the $1 and $2 bills in 1989 and 1996, respectively, and their replacement with coins of new design.

 Canadian currency tactile feature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Current Canadian banknotes (the "Canadian Journey" series) have a tactile feature to indicate denomination in the upper right corner of the face side of the bill, as suggested by Canadian National Institute for the Blind administrator Bruno Thériault.
This tactile feature is a series of raised dots; it does not use standard Braille because the Canadian federal government, in consultation with the blind and visually impaired, decided a different system is more accessible.
The currency denomination must be recognized easily, and standard Braille was deemed too sensitive.

The Canadian dollar is the unit of currency of Canada.
Although it was more valuable than the United States dollar for part of the 1970s, since then it has slipped and is currently holding at approximately 2/3 of the value of the US dollar.
Canada decided to use the dollar instead of a pound sterling system because of the ubiquity of Spanish dollars in North America in the 18th and early 19th century and because of the standardization of the American dollar.
