First I thought how would you use a cart that unlocks with a Euro in Canada now I'm thinking how are they gonna unlock it with a dollar bill.

Conclusion: I have absolutely no idea about the fiancial system in Canada.

Canada stopped using bills for $1 in like the 80s, then dropped the $2 bill in the 90's. We have the "loonie" which is a $1 coin, and "toonie" which is the $2 coin.

Carts depending on how premium the chain is, will either use a quarter coin ($0.25) or a loonie ($1.00).

Coins of Canada

A few years ago we dropped the Penny, our 1 cent coin ($0.01). All purchases are rounded to the nearest 5 cents.

A few years ago

That was 13.5 years ago.

I like your coins better than Euro coins. Look much more artsy.
