Similar to their neighbours, Canada’s main currency is the Canadian Dollar. Unlike the US dollar, the Canadian Dollar is somewhat more distinguishable when it comes to telling notes apart from one another. The currency code is easily abbreviated to CAD and is recognised as the fifth most held reserve currency in the world. Shortly behind, the US Dollar, the Euro, the Yen, and the Pound Sterling.
Whether you’re heading to the capital city of Ottawa, the largest city and most popular tourist destination Toronto, or a ski break to Whistler, making sure you have your travel money sorted before you get there can be a huge benefit. At the end of the day, getting your currency before you depart gives you one less thing you need to worry about. This also gives you the chance to familiarise yourself with the local currency before you depart.
What are the Canadian Dollar denominations?
There are five easy to remember denominations that make up the Canadian Dollar currency. These notes are easily distinguishable based on their colours and also each notes value is clearly marked within the bottom left-hand corner. The notes are listed below with their colours for reference:
- 5 Canadian Dollar Note – Blue
- 10 Canadian Dollar Note – Purple
- 20 Canadian Dollar Note – Green
- 50 Canadian Dollar Note – Red
- 100 Canadian Dollar Note – Golden brown
