Money of Canada

 Canadian money is issued and regulated by the Bank of Canada, the country's central bank. The official currency of Canada is the Canadian dollar (CAD). Here are some key features and denominations of Canadian currency:

Coins: Canadian coins come in various denominations:

1 cent (penny): Although the production of the penny was discontinued in 2013, it is still legal tender. However, it is rarely used in circulation.

5 cents (nickel): These coins are silver in color and are commonly referred to as "nickels."

10 cents (dime): Dimes are smaller than nickels and have a silver appearance.

25 cents (quarter): Quarters are larger and thicker than dimes and have a distinctive ribbed edge.

1 dollar (loonie): The loonie is a gold-colored coin featuring a common loon on one side.

2 dollars (toonie): The toonie is a bimetallic coin with a gold-colored outer ring and a silver-colored inner core.

Banknotes: Canadian banknotes are made of polymer, a durable plastic material that replaced paper banknotes. The current series of banknotes, known as the "Frontier Series," features notable Canadians and scenes from Canadian history:

5 dollars: Blue in color, featuring Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the seventh Prime Minister of Canada, on the front.

10 dollars: Purple in color, featuring Sir John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada, on the front.

20 dollars: Green in color, featuring the reigning monarch (Queen Elizabeth II) on the front.

50 dollars: Red in color, featuring Sir William Lyon Mackenzie King, the tenth Prime Minister of Canada, on the front.

100 dollars: Brown in color, featuring Sir Robert Borden, the eighth Prime Minister of Canada, on the front.

Security Features: Canadian banknotes have several security features to prevent counterfeiting, including holographic elements, raised ink, transparent windows, and hidden numbers or images.

It's worth noting that the design and security features of Canadian money may be subject to change over time, as the Bank of Canada periodically introduces new series of banknotes to enhance security and functionality.
