Canada and the U.S. #2
This is the second difference between Canada and the U.S. that I felt when I lived in Canada.
Canada and the U.S. use the same units of money - dollars and cents dollar, cent - but the types and designs of coins and bills are different.
<硬貨>
Coins differ in more than just design. In the United States, the most common coins are 1, 5, 10, and 25 cents, with 50-cent and $1 coins generally not in circulation. In Canada, the 1-cent coin was discontinued in 2013, and 5, 10, 25-cent, $1, and $2 coins are the most common coins, with no 50-cent coins in general circulation. American 50 cents and $1 and Canadian 50 cents are in circulation in casinos.
In Canada and the U.S., each coin has the same name: 1 cent is a penny penny, 5 cents is a nickel nickel, 10 cents is a dime, and 25 cents is a quarter quarter(quarter(quarter means one quarter ) . In Canada, there are one and two dollar coins on top of this: the one dollar coin is called a loonie loonie because it depicts a waterfowl avi, or loon loon in English, and the two dollar coin, which has a bear on it, is called a toonie toonie or twonie, meaning two for one dollar. The two-dollar coin is called a looney loonie because it has a bear on the outside and a bronze inside. The two-tone color is silver on the outside and bronze on the inside. All Canadian coins have the portrait of Queen Elizabeth on one side, but since she recently passed away, will it be replaced by King Charles in the future?
<紙幣>
U.S. bills are basically green, while Canadian ones are colorful. The commonly circulated U.S. bills are $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, while Canadian bills are $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 since $1 and $2 are coins, and the latest $10 bill is unusually vertical. I have seen $1,000 and $5,000 in the past, but they are not in general circulation. In Canada, they are now made of a durable material called polymer instead of paper.
Dollars are often referred to as buck buck in both Canada and the US. For example, $100 is called 100 bucks. Also, 1,000 is often expressed as K. 20K is $20,000. This K comes from kilo(キロ )), which means "kilo" in Japanese.
<銃規制>
Canada is a strict country regarding the possession of firearms, so although guns are used in gang wars as in Japan, there are not as many shootings as in the US. I was horrified when I saw a police officer throw a pistol he found in the trunk of the car in front of mine onto the street at the Canada-US border.
Canada is often overshadowed by the great country of the U.S., but it has other aspects that are different from the U.S. besides the ones I have covered here. I would like to introduce them again when I have a chance.
