You could exchange them for five loonies at a Canadian bank.
$2 bills are still being made. The must current series is dated 2008.
Although Canada no longer uses $1 bills, and has replaced them with a $1 coin (known as the loony) the old $1 bills have not become collectors items. They were in circulation too recently, and in too large an amount, to have any scarcity at present. Give it another hundred years and who knows, they may interest collectors. One never knows.
I think they are made in the Canadian Mint, American Mint, etc...CorrectionBy definition mints make coins, not paper money. In addition the "American Mint" is actually called the US Mint. > American paper money is printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, with facilities in Washington and Fort Worth. The BEP has no connection to the US Mint other than the fact that both are part of the Treasury Department.> Canadian bills are printed under the auspices of the Bank of Canada. Two companies are used: the Canadian Bank Note Company and BA International Inc.
The U.S. did not issue any $2 bills in 1986 In any case, $2 bills issued since 1976 are all current circulation notes and are worth face value only, unless they are in original uncirculated condition.
Canadian $1000 bills do not feature a Prime Minister. They depict Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada. Note that all $1000 bills are withdrawn, though $1.1 billion worth are still in circulation.
Queen Elizabeth II, on all bills printed between her ascension to the throne in 1953 and the end of $1 bill production in 1987.
the queen was on the Canadian one dollar bill witch ceased circulation in 1989 after the successful implementation of the Canadian Loonie in 1987.
The monarch that is on the Australian 5 note is Queen Elizabeth II. She is the current reigning queen of Great Britan and appears on all sorts of bills and coins in every country loyal to the British Crown.
Her Majesty appears on the Canadian twenty-dollar bill because Her Majesty is the Queen of Canada and Canadian head of State. Many prominent Canadians are featured on Canadian bills.
The current Canadian bills are: $5; $10; $20; $50; $100. However there WAS a $1000 bill but its production was stopped in 2000 along with the $1 and $2 bills.
The queen of England, Elizabeth II, signs every bill that is presented to her by the British parliament. She is also the queen of Canada, but she does not sign every bill (or any bill) enacted by the Canadian parliament; instead, those bills are signed by her representative, the Governor General of Canada. The queen does not veto anything, since her role is ceremonial. She reigns but does not actually govern.
Her Majesty the Queen of Canada is the Canadian monarch.The Queen is the Canadian head of State, and the prime minister is the Canadian head of Government.
Canada is a constitutional monarchy because Her Majesty the Queen of Canada is head of State.Section 9 of the Constitution Act, 1867 vests Canadian executive government and authority in the Queen. The constitutional monarchy is the foundation of the Canadian system of government. Bills become law with the royal assent of the Sovereign (referred to as the Queen-in-Parliament), orders of the Government are made by the Governor General (for the Queen) on the advice of ministers (referred to as the Queen-in-Council), and judicial decisions are handed down in the Queen's name (referred to as the Queen on the bench).
Queen Elizabeth II is under a Constitutional monarchy. She can't sue or be sued, since she is the head of the judiciary. She is officially head of Parliament and reads its proposed legislation. She provides Royal Assent to bills making them law. She still has the power to appoint a Prime Minister. The Prime Minister carries out her Royal Prerogative, which means he carries out her powers on her behalf.
American currency is not legal tender in Canada. Many (but not all) taxi drivers will accept American bills at par. You would be wise to convert to Canadian currency. Canadian banks will exchange American bills for Canadian bills at a fair exchange rate, and will do so while you wait. Besides, our bills are prettier than American bills.
Canada has dollar coins not bills.
