Canadians are weird.
Just the ones East of the Ottawa River and North of the St. Lawrence.
The Gaspé is ok.
Hum... for Canadian currency, the $ symbol goes after the number up here in Quebec. Since I was talking about Canadian currency and live in Quebec...

Up here, as in Québec.
Otherwise you are just being delusional.
I could take this thread straight to PRSI with one sentence, and we don't want that, now do we?
Yes, I clarified that point. I've also never seen your notation for big numbers. We usually just use a space for millions, thousands, 1 000 000,00$ or just lump it all together 1000000,00$. The decimal mark can either be a point or coma, I've seen both.
In that case, my mistake...but I see an alarming number of Americans do that, as if they've never seen a price written before; it's a pet peeve of mine, as to me it makes people look extremely unintelligent, much like the most basic of basic spelling errors.
I know this is stupid but it would be nice if they made coins into paper. They could be smaller or something. I usually don't pay any attention to coin exchanges and I lose/misplace them all the time regardless of the amount. I'm sure I've lost a lot of money through that.
Just a thought. My 2(paper) cents.

I worked overseas with a lot of people from other countries and some of my Bosnian friends asked if I could get them $2 bills. I had a HARD time finding them as no banks in my area had them. I managed to luck out at a grocery store some person before me paid in all $2 bills so I happily took them.
I also brought back a few rolls of the $1 gold coins they never saw and some 50 cent pieces.

I have a few $2 bills in Canadian and US currency and they are worth face value. The US $2 bills are easy to get from any US bank. As for $ placement in Canada, I've seen it $d.cc in BC.

So according to you those who live in Québec city are weird, but not those living in Lévis?
What about Montréal, sitting in the middle of the river? Walk in and get them...
I have around $200 dollars in $2 bills and I use them for lunch at least once a week. ( Who wants to carry 2 $1 bills for Micky D's). The bills are so easily accepsble that I walk into a bank with one of my accounts there and ask for around $50. When they ask you how you would like them say " In $2 bills Please" Since it is Legal tender they have to carry a few thousand on hand at all times. Banks, States, and Cities all differ but there should'nt be an issue...

There is no such requirement in the US for any financial institution. They could chose to deal exclusively in $1 bills and pennies if they wished... They are required to ACCEPT all legal currency, however that is the extent of the requirement.

yeap same here and brand new from the bank. I usually order the $2 bill at the bank before I leave the states so I can give them away for lunar new year here in asia.
A guy here at work goes to the bank every coupe weeks and comes back with 100 of them, fresh and crisp.
They are fun and different. I took a few off my hands for the little girl, she gets a kick out of them.

I got it from a mcdonalds a few years back, I heard they are worth some money, but I'm going to save it just in case they might go for 1 million dollars for 1 $2 bill. That might be getting my hopes up a little bit
I suggest investing in the Canadian $Loonie$ coin.
The US used to have a half cent, two cent, and three cent coin. The three cent was made from silver.
I have two I keep hidden in my wallet. I have gone about 5 years without spending them, but I guess if an emergency came alone that I could get out of with $4 then I wouldn't feel bad spending them.
