It was on July 1, 1858 when the authorities ordered the issuance of the first Canadian dollars, which were adopted to a decimal system in the following years. However, it was until 1871 that the monetary unification of all Canadian provinces was approved to use the dollar, finally abolishing the gold standard in 1933.

Currently, Canadian coins of 1, 5, 10 and 25 cents, 1 and 2 dollars are used, which are issued by the Royal Canadian Mint; on the other hand, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1000 dollar notes are issued by the Bank of Canada and are produced in Ottawa.
