Geography · True or False?

The Canadian currency is called the Canadian dollar

The answer is True.

Explanation

It was introduced in 1858, replacing the patchwork of British pounds, Spanish dollars and U.S. dollars circulating at the time. It was aligned on the same decimal system as the U.S. dollar to facilitate trade with the United States, a choice that stuck even at Confederation in 1867.
