Of course, Canada has had the Loon Dollar coin and the $2 paper bill is 
the low denomintion. That is exactly what the US was trying with the 
failed Susan B. Anthony Dollar.

To say that the Canadian $2 bill was ever worth more than the US $2 bill 
is ludicrous. The Canadian Dollar has always been worth less than the US 
dollar to the best of my knowledge.
