Oh Canada!

I remember when I was little and we thought Canadian currency was a joke. Sometimes we'd find a Canadian dime or something, and get excited, until our parents informed us that we'd just found the equivalent of play money. Unconvinced, we might try it in a vending machine. The machines would spit them out, crying, "Are you insane?! That money is worthless!"

Well, dig around in the old coin collectors for those Canadian coppers, my friends, because they're now worth more than ours! That's right, let the mocking cease. The Canadian dollar has now surpassed the US dollar in value. It's time to cash in! Good thing you held on to the those dimes.
