I wonder if places here still refuse to take Canadian coins
Aren't they worth more than the dollar now?
I wonder if places here still refuse to take Canadian coins
Yup. Our dollar is around $1.02 right now, down from $1.05 the past few months.
50.00 Can got me 49.01 on Sunday.....the US dollar is in the tank..AGAIN...and NO sign of recovering any time soon....I wonder if places here still refuse to take Canadian coins
That is why Canada is looking for different more diverse trading partners....the US is a bad investment as it stands now...
And it's not so much the Canadian dollar being strong it's the American being weak. For example, the Canadian dollar is down 20% to the Australian dollar in one year.
The Canadian economy is stalled...with its biggest partner in the tank....that is why they are looking elsewhere to deal....
We even took Tim Hortons back after the Wendy's fiasco
I heard Timmy divorced Wendy...too bad nice couple....
