That's okay y'all, I've spent time with Uh-mericans in the past, I can translate.
Regarding the pretty coloured monopoly money, the big number in the corner of the bill is the denomination. Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, they're the same size as yours, just different people on the "heads" side. As for the $1 and $2 coins - one colour, one dollar; two colours, two dollars. We call them Loonies (the bird on the tails side was originally a loon) and twoonies. And there is no chocolate under the gold foil...

FYI, most places will take your green paper at par, but you'll get Canuck bucks for change.
Cheers, eh?
Loonies and Twoonies Huh- where do they make those coins anyway, Daffy Ducks basement? Too bad aboot the no chocolate in the foil part tho. Anyhoo let us know if the rondy works out and we will be there. We're heading into the Gulf Isl. this summer anyway so lets have a cold one- one way or another.

Me-Where should I tie off my boat?
Hatbormaster- Where is it tied off now?

Harbormaster- Dya like it there?
Me- Ya
