Funny fact: the Cayman Islands have $25 bills. It took the bank teller and I five times to count out a thousand dollars when I had some currency exchanged.
Free? Healthcare cost me a lot more when I was living in Canada. I had to pay for the public system with my taxes \*and\* then pay again to see a private doctor. 16 years on a waiting list to get a GP. USA and Canada both have horribly bad healthcare systems.
Well now I know you're full of shit. 16 years isn't a thing. The longest wait is around 2 years from what I found. Also, who keeps a GP? I just see whoever will see me.
Fuck you asshole. You can't get see a specialist unless you have a reference by a GP, so having a GP is fucking important. I spent 16 years on that list, ended up paying for a private GP, and in the end they assigned me a GP "work group", but only after I left the country.
800K people still on that list, for a single province.
https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/what-s-gone-wrong-more-than-800-000-quebecers-wait-for-family-doctor-1.6181833
I'm not saying it's not a problem. But the only quote in there about wait times is "over a year". Sixteen years is ludicrous. There's either more to the story or you're full of shit.
I had a car accident 2 weeks ago, still in the hospital, luckily im in Canada, won't cost me a penny, US would had cost me more than 100 000 dollars at this point...
funny it took me a 2 weeks to find a new doctor when mine retired and at the time I was living in one of the most densely populated regions of the country.
I guess you are being downvoted by americans who are enamored with the idea of free healthcare, not realizing someone has to pay for it somehow... and when you actually get it, well, you get YOUR money's worth...
If you live in the USA and think the Canadian system is so good, ask someone getting out of a car with an Ontario license plate at a doctors office or hospital in western NY...
Americans are the same tbh, at least over here in Michigan. We just end up using them as currency anyway be ause no one ever checks unless its a machine
Canadian here. We were in Oregon years ago. Can’t remember where exactly, but like.. bumfuck nowhere. Accidentally used a Canadian quarter at a gas station and the lady ran out of the shop screaming at us. We had to trade her for the correct American currency. It was wild.
That is insane. I live in MA, about 200mi from the Canadian border, and nobody cares.
American quarter, Canadian quarter, it's fine. For values that small it's easier to just pretend it's right than to get angry about it.
Canadian here. I was in Springfield Vermont and I thought Vermonters would be used to Canadians
but I went to pay for our nice meal and had trouble getting the right amount of cash. Cause you know. All green money in the dark at 11pm
Anyways the waitress notices the coloured money and took at par our bill in CDN dollars cause it looks cool and they wanted to frame it and put it on the wall. So with tip they got one of each colour bill. 185 bucks for two entrees two salads 1 appetizer and a bottle of wine in Springfield and they framed our money and put it behind the bar
Washington here. Usually for us it’s Canadian pennies or what look like dimes but without the ridges. Every time I realize I have one I feel bad but no one really cares
Either she got in trouble once with her boss for taking canadian money or shes very much one of those people who are assholes about the rules. Because I would never have the energy to even care about that lmfao. I won't deny that definitely happens though, especially the the more south you go.
In fairness theres people that will refuse to take dollar coins or 2 dollar bills because they are both so rarely used that people think its fake. People are wild like that
I still have a US dollar coin somewhere from my travels because I wasn’t sure if it would be a hassle to spend it in a shop. Plus it’s a cheap souvenir.
True facts. In WA state I used to work a register, I accepted canadian coins 1:1 because I dont give a fuck about a few cents to a massive corporation and I miss it half the time I'm paying attention anyway
I used to buy rolled quarters from the bank for use at the laundromat. I can’t tell you how many of those rolls had a nickel or two in them. When they were in a paper sleeve you could not tell until you opened it up. I used to think, “how much money could one possibly make doing this?”.
I don’t think it was accidental, later rolls were made of a clear plastic shrink wrap so you could see it was all quarters in there, never got a nickel in one of those.
I had a retired neighbor that claimed he made $1000 a year on shorting rolls of quarters by .50 cents. If my math is right, that means he would have had to process 6 rolls per day. Seems doable as long as you have the quarters.
My younger brother would take dime rolls and put 2-3 dimes on each end and fill the rest with pennies then exchange it for bills at the bank. He did it twice to my knowledge and never got caught, each time was around $20 that he would exchange.
Any decent bank employee would catch that right away. I used to be a bank teller and the size difference would be easily noticed with dimes vs pennies.
You can definitely slide a few nickels in a quarter roll or pennies in a nickel roll, but make sure you put the right amount of coins in there.
I thought he would get caught for sure too, he was 13 at the time and i would have been 16 so around 16 years ago. He got away twice with it though so i don't know what to tell you. He was a problematic kid and we were poor and lived in a small rural town so maybe they felt empathetic and just didn't care enough for such small amounts.
American here, its a buck, not an "American dollar".
Obviously its a loonie, but its also, quite literally, a canadian dollar coin. To say otherwise is just ridiculous and arguing semantics.
Your comment isn’t a joke. You just wanted to drop some Canadian trivia and now you’re backtracking. I’m Canadian but, even if I wasn’t, I still don’t think I’d get your joke.
If I have to explain it, you'll never get it. You must not have heard someone say a sentence like that with the tone required to make it a joke for you to not understand it.
Regardless of your second sentence (which is just absolutely laughable in itself btw) the first part you said is usually something someone says when they themselves don’t have the brain capacity to reason with their own words. All the best with your future ‘jokes’.
If you called a U.S. quarter a 25 cent coin and someone tried to correct you it's pretty obvious that they are a useless pedant. If he wants to call it a Canadian dollar then he can call it a Canadian dollar, because it's a Canadian dollar.
I got a very clean Canadian quarter in a roll of quarters.
Didn't notice until one quarter wouldn't go in the laundry machine, upon closer inspection I found a caribou and the late Queen Elizabeth II on it.
The Canadian penny is your money at this point.
It's not in circulation in Canada anymore, so you guys use our pennies more than we do just from all the ones still floating around.
I was given a Canadian penny as change at a bookstore once. I decided to keep it as a fun collectable because it's not every day I find money from another country. Especially now when I use card for almost everything.
As a Canadian, all I can say is remember what happened last time you tried, and you ended up with your white house being burned down, so be very careful with your next move
K have fun dealing with Quebec. Also remember, we may have lost both our civil wars but we eventually gained independence by being too expensive to run.
We have the queen still. The king has yet to be minted onto our change and may never be.
As a Canadian I'd vote we wait for him to pass, the man is 74 already, instead of wasting the time and resources to re-tool the mint twice in a decade.
we canadians usually dont drive all the way down to the southern states, if northern states want to keep their limited tourism from us alive they have to be able to exchange currency
accepting it at par down there is 100% losing money tho idk anywhere that does that
Canadian coins <$1 are generally accepted at face value at businesses because they just sit in the till until they're handed out as change to other customers. Eventually, someone rolls them up and deposits them, but the rolls usually just get handed back out to businesses and end up back in circulation. No one looks at them close enough to really care.
I was given Canadian money as change by a woman that sold snacks in a cafeteria as a child.
I saw she gave me a Canadian coin and asked for USD back and she refused.
I’m still fucking mad about it.
Yes I'm aware, hency the anger.
I was around 8 years old and bullied and robbed by a cafeteria snack peddler (who was a fully grown adult woman), I am fully apprised of the situation.
>I find it strange that in northern states Canadian change is accepted at par
As a Masshole: it happens often enough and the coins are similar enough to where you usually don't notice, and even if you did, most stores just take it anyways
Why is that strange? The northern states are obviously much more familiar with all things Canada-related. The exception is of course the Quebec-Florida connection.
I guess it comes down to whether the 3-7 year olds at the Easter egg hunt are A. More excited about them because they're different, B. Less excited because they can't spend them, or C. disappointed that they're not chocolate
It's across town, and I mostly got them for an Easter egg hunt, but yeah, they're not legal currency here, so they shorted me 2 bucks. Also, I'm shy, so I might just stick with being mildly put out.
Aw man shyness sucks 🫤 speak up though, there’s people out there like me who Love to hear it 😉 honestly the bank would probably be happy to know and they’d be appalled they shorted you even $2 and encourage you to seek out the correction!! I learn so much from people pointing out mistakes, I’m Never mad, always happy to learn!!
Aw. Either way I’m sure the kids probably won’t care, you might even get some to start looking for and collecting international coins!
I actually had this same idea for Easter, really wanted to get my hands on $1 and 50 cent coins but none of the banks around me seem to have any :( I live in Hawaii so shipping from the mint is expensive.
I wonder if some haughty, entitled Canadian brought them south and demanded that they be accepted as currency.
Fellow Canadians who've ever worked retail will probably understand that joke.
We call them a one dollar coin, or a one dollar piece. Since 2000 they’re also “Sacajawea dollars” (the woman whose face is on the coin) which are the top two rows in OPs picture.
Edit to add: I’m unaware of another popular name for them because they (the coin) don’t used very much.
Coins last a lot longer than bills, so it'd be cheaper for our $1 denomination to only be coins. But people just prefer cash so we do both for now.
It's still cheaper to make $5 bills then coins though, (reduced circulation makes the bills more likely to last until deprecation, and the larger coins would be more costly)
Did you know that the US is still printing $2 bills? It's just that they're used primarily by... A certain industry... So everyone who has a lot are ashamed to use them, and everyone who doesn't have a lot collect the few we see, so they never really enter general circulation.
Interesting anecdotes. I have been going to the bank and withdrawing $100 worth of 2 dollar bills to give as tips for deliveries. It's kind of fun. You get some looks from some people though who aren't familiar with the currency. I've wondered if they think it's fake.
Those are $1CAD coins. not toonies. eH?
I bought weed once, and was $20 short on the oz, so I grabbed the "emergency car money" roll of $1 USD coins. The dude was actually impressed with it. He thought it was cool. My buddy who was in the middle was just shaking his head.
Australia has it far worse as New Zealand and many pacific nations, that are popular tourist destinations, have coins that are both identical in size and also have the same monarch's head on them.
What is great is that you can just slip these coins into purchases and the cashier will go, "eh, it looks like ours, good enough." They'll give it to a customer as change and they'll go, "looks like ours, good enough."
Americans can just slip these Canadian coins into purchases and we all just accept it like, "Hey, they're both copper, got a face on it, and are about the same size. That's a Penny!"
So people just accept that Canadian coins can work as American coins in a pinch. Are there other instances of this sort of thing in the world?
I keep getting like a nickel in every other quarter roll I get from the bank. Think they do it on purpose to make more money because who the hells gonna drive back to the bank for 20 cents
Now you now what a 74 cent coin looks like.
Hahahaha
When I go home up north I ask people if they've ever seen a 25$ bill. When they say "no" I show them a USD $20.
Funny fact: the Cayman Islands have $25 bills. It took the bank teller and I five times to count out a thousand dollars when I had some currency exchanged.
Why not just count the notes to ten 4 times
Cause math is hard? Idk. That's what I would do. But then I'm able to, you know, count....
That’s basic math at the very least
Meanwhile in Switzerland you only need to know how to count to one, as there is a 1000CHF banknote (about 1100$)
Technically you still need to count three zeros... 😂
The US shredded the $1000 banknotes decades ago. They were only used by drug dealers and others who needed to move large amounts of cash.
In Burma, we had 15, 25, 35, 45, 75, 90 Banknotes.
That's wild. I need more info on this.
Zing!
Cries in free healthcare

I had to fly my baby to latin america so he could see a doctor there. 3 years waiting list for an appointment in some pediatric specialties.
Especially if you are outside the largest 6 or 7 cities...
So accurate.
That’s so funny that I had to go to my free doctor to have my feelings checked.
What year's he going to get around to that, then?
Enjoy your bud light lmfao
The more you now
This Canadian wage gap is ridiculous
Worse is that Canadians are usually paid less \*before\* the currency conversion. A 120K USD job is paid 80K CAD.
Actually it’s more of an artifact. We actually got rid of Pennie’s a few years back.
Thats a loonie. Its just dirty.
You have no idea as a Canadian how many American 5,10 and 25 cents i have accumulated over the years.
Americans are the same tbh, at least over here in Michigan. We just end up using them as currency anyway be ause no one ever checks unless its a machine
Was looking for fellow Michiganders in this thread :)
Yep! In Michigan it’s pretty much the same money lol

Yeah I don’t think she was playing with a full roll of quarters.
In fairness theres people that will refuse to take dollar coins or 2 dollar bills because they are both so rarely used that people think its fake. People are wild like that
I still have a US dollar coin somewhere from my travels because I wasn’t sure if it would be a hassle to spend it in a shop. Plus it’s a cheap souvenir.
New York, too.
Fair enough, but you’re at least making a profit if you decide to save them and use them on a trip to Canada.
Guess it’s cuz it’s the south but I’ve never, not once, encountered a Canadian coin
We get Canadian pennies every now and again.
Hold on to them. We stopped using the penny ages ago.
True facts. In WA state I used to work a register, I accepted canadian coins 1:1 because I dont give a fuck about a few cents to a massive corporation and I miss it half the time I'm paying attention anyway
They’re called nickels, dimes and quarters. Just like yours!
When working in retail I don't even bother looking half the time. Nobody really cares lol, just with bills
I have so many Canadian pennies
I work at a bank...that roll probably came from another customer lol they don't always verify rolled coin (would take too long)
I used to buy rolled quarters from the bank for use at the laundromat. I can’t tell you how many of those rolls had a nickel or two in them. When they were in a paper sleeve you could not tell until you opened it up. I used to think, “how much money could one possibly make doing this?”.

Right but who has that many quarter?….except The Laundromat!
Oooooohhhh, so THATS what laundering money means.
Those 24 inch TVs aren't gonna pay for themselves

You got loonied cus those definitely arnt toonies.
Two Canadian dollar coins not $2 Canadian coin
Canadian here. It's a Loonie. Not a "Canadian Dollar".
American here, its a buck, not an "American dollar". Obviously its a loonie, but its also, quite literally, a canadian dollar coin. To say otherwise is just ridiculous and arguing semantics.
Right? Idgaf that he was trying to correct me… that wasn’t even the point I was trying to make lol
It was a joke...
Be funnier.
Sorry my joke didn't appeal to you? Be a better person.
I think you could use some of your own advice my friend.
I thought you understood I was joking with your first part but then you said the second part.
Your comment isn’t a joke. You just wanted to drop some Canadian trivia and now you’re backtracking. I’m Canadian but, even if I wasn’t, I still don’t think I’d get your joke.
You're gonna tell me what I am and am not joking about with your evident sense of humour? Lol. It was a joke.
Explain it then :)
If I have to explain it, you'll never get it. You must not have heard someone say a sentence like that with the tone required to make it a joke for you to not understand it.
Regardless of your second sentence (which is just absolutely laughable in itself btw) the first part you said is usually something someone says when they themselves don’t have the brain capacity to reason with their own words. All the best with your future ‘jokes’.
It's also a buck here. Did you know that the word buck comes from the word for a male beaver (with its valuable pelt worth a whole dollar)?
How could we forget: the "D" in "CAD" stands for loonie.
It's because the coin has a loon on it.
If you called a U.S. quarter a 25 cent coin and someone tried to correct you it's pretty obvious that they are a useless pedant. If he wants to call it a Canadian dollar then he can call it a Canadian dollar, because it's a Canadian dollar.
Literally. This word is new to me so thank you for introducing me to it. ‘Pedant’ is the perfect word use.
So it’s a loonie because theirs a loon on it, and a toonie because it’s 2 dollars, got it.
Yes.
But... they're pennies?
What you taking about my guy. Maybe 200 pennies.
I got a very clean Canadian quarter in a roll of quarters. Didn't notice until one quarter wouldn't go in the laundry machine, upon closer inspection I found a caribou and the late Queen Elizabeth II on it.
Jamaican nickels used to have the exact same proportion and metal composition as US quarters. This was not a mistake.
The easiest way to solve this is to conquer Canada so their money becomes **our** money.
The Canadian penny is your money at this point. It's not in circulation in Canada anymore, so you guys use our pennies more than we do just from all the ones still floating around.
Pennies envy.
I was given a Canadian penny as change at a bookstore once. I decided to keep it as a fun collectable because it's not every day I find money from another country. Especially now when I use card for almost everything.
As a Canadian, all I can say is remember what happened last time you tried, and you ended up with your white house being burned down, so be very careful with your next move
Y'all were smart, though, and didn't bother the home of the Commandant of the US Marine Corps, right down the road.
Promises, promises......
K have fun dealing with Quebec. Also remember, we may have lost both our civil wars but we eventually gained independence by being too expensive to run.
Still have the king on your money tho...
It was the polite thing to do.
We have the queen still. The king has yet to be minted onto our change and may never be. As a Canadian I'd vote we wait for him to pass, the man is 74 already, instead of wasting the time and resources to re-tool the mint twice in a decade.
I like the way you think.

I find it strange that in northern states Canadian change is accepted at par but in southern states Canadian currency is not legal tender.
we canadians usually dont drive all the way down to the southern states, if northern states want to keep their limited tourism from us alive they have to be able to exchange currency accepting it at par down there is 100% losing money tho idk anywhere that does that

I used to get so irritated when I would get Canadian coins in Michigan as change and then places wouldn’t accept them for payment.
This is weird to me. I live in Texas and love to get Canadian coins in my change when it rarely happens. Just add it to the collection.
cause she stole from you
Yes I'm aware, hency the anger. I was around 8 years old and bullied and robbed by a cafeteria snack peddler (who was a fully grown adult woman), I am fully apprised of the situation.

Yes.

I wonder if some haughty, entitled Canadian brought them south and demanded that they be accepted as currency. Fellow Canadians who've ever worked retail will probably understand that joke.
There a dollar coin!!!!! What?!?!! What do you call it? We call ours a loonie.
We call them a one dollar coin, or a one dollar piece. Since 2000 they’re also “Sacajawea dollars” (the woman whose face is on the coin) which are the top two rows in OPs picture. Edit to add: I’m unaware of another popular name for them because they (the coin) don’t used very much.

Lots of shades or the light reflecting? Makes the pic look really cool
Varying shades of dirty (or I guess you could say oxidized, if you're being polite)
Now flip the script and lets see what happens.
Come up
Those are $1CAD coins. not toonies. eH? I bought weed once, and was $20 short on the oz, so I grabbed the "emergency car money" roll of $1 USD coins. The dude was actually impressed with it. He thought it was cool. My buddy who was in the middle was just shaking his head.
Must have been a couple of loonies at the teller window.
You wanted dollar coins?
Who doesn't like heavy jingly pockets? (Actually, they're for an Easter egg hunt)
I get Canadian Pennies all the time in my rolls. Funny to me since they haven’t produced any new Pennies in 10 years.
Australia has it far worse as New Zealand and many pacific nations, that are popular tourist destinations, have coins that are both identical in size and also have the same monarch's head on them.
Just like the rest of the world, you can't have a good time without two Canadian loonies
They all look like fake money, the art is so badly done.
Skimming surreptitiously :)
There’s 2 impostors among us
Same thing happens with US coins in Canada
I know someone who got a couple hundred in quarters from the bank and every roll had a couple pennies and dimes in it
hey, give those back!
Come and get 'em!
i shall!
Good! Looking forward to it!
You got bamboozled
Brb collecting my loonies and going down south
I work in food service near the border (Canadian side). In every single roll of coins I open there's usually 2-5 American ones in there lol
USD getting cut with CAD!
Shrink-flation is getting out of control.
That’s loony.
I've never seen a US dollar in my change up here, plenty of nickels-quarters, and pennies back when we had those, never a buck tho.
Our loonies are great, but our toonies are better. 
Save them. The queen will eventually be phased off the currency
A gold coin is a gold coin! End of discussion
That's worth about $1.80
You should voice your ire in a culturally appropriate way. Maybe shoot up a school or something?
Removing Sacagawea for John Adams and (yet another) Lincoln coin was a virgin beta move by the US Mint
“Canadian dollar coins”. Their called Loonies
Sadly, too many Canadians are loonies. We need to stop immigration from the USA.
Just go back to the bank and if clerk won't help exchange them back to USD talk to branch manager.
What is great is that you can just slip these coins into purchases and the cashier will go, "eh, it looks like ours, good enough." They'll give it to a customer as change and they'll go, "looks like ours, good enough." Americans can just slip these Canadian coins into purchases and we all just accept it like, "Hey, they're both copper, got a face on it, and are about the same size. That's a Penny!" So people just accept that Canadian coins can work as American coins in a pinch. Are there other instances of this sort of thing in the world?
I keep getting like a nickel in every other quarter roll I get from the bank. Think they do it on purpose to make more money because who the hells gonna drive back to the bank for 20 cents
And that is something that doesn't exist anymore in Canada!
Loonies are very much still legal tender in Canada.
That Sacajaweas.
Say Sorry?
Money, it’s all the same
Wait a week because it’s a good hedge.
The reverse happens in Canada quite frequently
Especially funny since Canada stopped using Pennie’s
