Question

I live in michigan i am going to canada 2maro, can i use my american money or do i have to get canadian??

Answer 1

You don't have to exchange your money - you can use US money pretty much anywhere in Canada.  With the two currencies being almost at par right now you will probably save money by not exchanging it.

Answer 2

exchange your money into Canadian either before you come, or at a bank in Canada

if use US dollars at Canadian stores, they will give you a worse exchange rate than what you would get a bank.

fyi, the current exchange rate is $1 Canadian = 99.4 cents US so its almost equal

Answer 3

you can use American money, but you will probably get ripped off a little.  I did when I went there.

Answer 4

I suggest using a credit card. That will usually get you a decent rate of exchange.

If you are going with a group, try pooling your money, you get a better rate the more you exchange.

Don't forget required ID's

Answer 5

If you are spending a lot of  money there, it is worth to do the exchange here in the US. Otherwise, you can use your american dollars there, but for a not-so-good exchange rate.

Answer 6

You can use american money.I live in Michigan too..Rate me top answer bro:)

Answer 7

exchanging your money is the best choice i do live in windsor and if you don't then you might get ripped off by some off the retailers.
