Canadian Dollars. They are not at all the same as American Dollars, they just have a similar name. Funny enough, the Canadian 1-Dollar coin (not a paper bill, but a metal coin) is called a Loonie, because of the loon (a breed of bird) depicted on it. Some have come to call the Canadian Dollar in general the Loonie, like the American Dollar might be called a buck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loonie).
