Holy CRAP, I can't believe that conversation even happened. So sad, so very sad. The fact the woman said "Euro" is even funnier and equally sad.
the canadian dollar is called the buck and sometime the loonie
Well the ACTUAL physical item is a loonie, but you wouldn't say "hey, hand me 5 loonies", you'd say "hand me 5 dollars".
However, bucks is also acceptable but I don't think that's legit on the markets compared to yen, euro, and dollar :P
BTW: i have to admit, it's soooo nice having a lighter wallet without loonies and twonies!
But we're going to coin $1 too. The government say there way cheaper to produce and last longer. I think there suppose to be rolling out sometime this year. And then they'll stop producing the paper $1 american dollar.
I don't think that they will stop making the American dollar any time soon, but they did roll out the new $1 coin. Which by my count is there third attempt. Starting with the Susan B. Anthony, Sacagawea, and now the new Presidential coins.
The Canadians and the Euro's are used to having a huge pocket full of change, but us Americans are lazy and we want to just have a few bills that are all the same size.
One of the things that I do hate when I travel is the funny money that I gotta put up with in other countries.
