The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is the official currency of Canada, issued by the Bank of Canada.
The modern series features advanced polymer notes known for their durability, clarity, and world‑leading security features.
Each denomination highlights iconic Canadian themes — from national achievements and cultural heritage to celebrated historical figures — all presented in a clean, contemporary design.
These polymer notes form the primary legal tender used throughout Canada today and are widely recognised across North America and beyond.
Exchanging your CAD notes is simple and secure.
Just enter the amount you wish to exchange into your wallet and proceed with the exchange, and everything will be handled quickly and efficiently.
Before the introduction of the current polymer series, Canada issued several generations of paper banknotes featuring earlier portraits, traditional layouts, and security features that have since been replaced.
These older notes — including the Birds of Canada series, the Canadian Journey series, and earlier commemorative issues — may no longer be accepted in shops, but many still retain redeemable value.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated and withdrawn Canadian Dollar notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
