Canada got rid of the one and two dollar paper bills years ago. The lifespan of the paper bill was too short. They were replaced by the “loonie” (a pic of a loon on it) and a “toonie” ( don’t ask) coins. They last almost forever. Now since our “paper” bills have been replaced by fabric and plastic bills, the reason for replacing paper for coins is redundant. In fact the coins are much heavier, wear holes in pockets and are a total pain in the patooie. When the paper bills were phased out I purchased several uncut sheets of the $1.00 and $2.00 paper bills ( 32 bills per sheet). Still have them. Before Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949 ( Newfies claim the reverse) they had a $3.00 bill. I have those as well. Nowadays “Phony as a $3.00 bill” indicatesd a fake because they do not exist anymore.
