Canadian Dollars. They are not at all the same as American Dollars, they just have a similar name. Funny enough, the Canadian 1-Dollar coin (not a paper bill, but a metal coin) is called a Loonie, because of the loon (a breed of bird) depicted on it.

"Loonie" is a slang term for the Canadian one-dollar coin. It gets its name from the image of a common loon, a bird native to Canada, that is featured on one side of the coin.
A twoonie is called a twoonie because it's a tip-off from the loonie. The Canadian loonie is one dollar, so the two-dollar coin thus became so-named as the twoonie.
They now use a $1 coin irreverently called a loonie because it carries a picture of a swimming loon.
