JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 11/18/2025 6:08 pm As of Jan.1, 2021, $1.00 and $2.00 bills are no longer legal tender but the Bank of Canada will still honour them at face value. So the answer to your question is no. Report this Post to the Staff
orange26 Pillar of the Community United States 828 Posts	Posted 11/18/2025 8:01 pm @JimmyD - I didn't know that. I wonder why? I know Canadian pennies are still legal tender, though, which is good, Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 11/18/2025 8:16 pm Although Canadian cents are still legal tender, most businesses will not accept them as everything is rounded off to the nearest nickel or dime. Also banks are not supposed to hand them out and are required to return them to the mint for recycling. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 11/18/2025 8:23 pm Vending machines in Canada are all going to be calibrated to accept the current series polymer notes, and reject all paper ones - if you have obsolete paper notes (including $1 and $2 notes), you'll need to exchange them at a bank, or find a kindly shopkeeper who will take pity on a tourist and accept them for you. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

When I buy collections , we no longer want the Ones , twos , or 1000 dollars . Way too much Agro depositing them and some banks charge to deposit . Do not miss 1 or 2 notes , the coins are a far better solution . Report this Post to the Staff
