a little under a dollar
Ontario is part of Canada so the Canadian dollar is the currency of Ontario. Coins are produced by the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and currently issued in denominations of 5¢ (nickel), 10¢ (dime), 25¢ (quarter), 50¢ (50¢ piece), $1 (loonie), and $2 (toonie). Pennies are no longer minted in Canada.
I have a 1969 dime from the Bahamas found out it is a fabulous find on rarity but is only worth face value.

The Bluenose. It appears on the Canadian dime.
Can we rephrase that? The schooner is Old Bluenose, it's not a schooner with a blue nose. And there's no candy involved, it's a Canadian dime.
It's an image of the Bluenose, which was a Canadian fishing boat and racing schooner in the 1920s and '30s.
Could you explain what you mean? If you want a basic definition, it's a 10 cent coin about the same size as a U.S. dime. Most bear the image of the famous schooner "Old Bluenose" on the obverse. The reverse carries the monarch's picture, Elizabeth II since 1953. If taken from circulation, a Canadian dime is worth about 9 cents U.S. at current exchange rates. What about a 1988 dime that has orchid like flowers on the back instead of the schooner
The schooner on the front of the Canadian dime was a depiction by Emmanuel Hahn of Bluenose.

The ship is a representation of the "Bluenose", a famous Canadian schooner. The artist, Emmanuel Hahn, used three ships including the Bluenose as his models, so the ship design is actually a composite.
The Dime (.10).
The famous figure on the dime is President Franklin D. Roosevelt. His profile appears on the front of the coin.
Did you know that Nova Scotia is one of the provinces where the Mi'kmaq people live. Its coat of arms is the most detailed of all the provinces and territories. It is also where bluenose, the schooner on the Canadian dime, was built.
No one appears on the back of a dime, but on currently circulating dimes, Franklin D. Roosevelt appears on the front.
