Did You Know? Fun Facts About the Canadian Dollar
The Canadian dollar (CAD), symbolized as “$” or “CA$”, has a rich history. Here are some interesting tidbits about one of the world’s most recognizable currencies:
- The Birth of the Loonie: Canada introduced the iconic “loonie” coin in 1987, replacing the $1 bill. The coin features a common loon, a bird native to Canada, on one side and the Canadian monarch on the other.
- Polymer Revolution: Canada was among the first countries to adopt polymer banknotes. Introduced in 2011, these durable notes are resistant to tears, water, and counterfeit attempts. Before this innovation, older paper notes were more susceptible to damage—and these are the ones we buy!
- Colorful Reputation: Canadian dollars are affectionately called “monopoly money” by some due to their vibrant colors. Each denomination has a distinct hue, making them visually striking and easy to differentiate.
- Heritage Design: Older Canadian banknotes often featured iconic Canadian landscapes and historical figures. These designs make them cherished collectibles, even after their circulation has ended.
- Global Influence: The CAD is the fifth most held reserve currency globally, reflecting its stability and importance in international trade.
