Description
The Canadian dollar is the official currency of Canada, issued by the Bank of Canada. It is subdivided into 100 cents and is widely used in both the English‑speaking and French‑speaking regions of the country.
Commonly nicknamed the “loonie” after the one‑dollar coin featuring a common loon, the currency is denoted by the symbol C$ to distinguish it from other dollar denominations. Canada’s monetary policy focuses on inflation targeting, and the banknotes feature prominent Canadian figures and natural heritage.
