Canadian coins

Canadian coins include the penny (1¢), nickel (5¢), dime (10¢), quarter (25¢), and toonie (commonly called a two-dollar coin). The penny features Queen Elizabeth II's portrait, while the nickel, dime, and quarter also display Canadian symbols like the maple leaf. The toonie, larger than a dollar bill, has a distinctive two-toned design. Canadian coins are made from durable metals such as nickel, steel, and copper, and are used alongside paper bills to facilitate everyday transactions. The penny was phased out in 2013 but is still accepted in some transactions.
