About Canadian Dollar Exchange

The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is the official currency of Canada, one of the most popular destinations for UK travellers and a major world trading currency. We accept all denominations of Canadian Dollar banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Canadian Dollar Banknotes

Canada’s current polymer banknotes are among the most secure in the world, featuring transparent windows, holographic elements, and raised ink. We accept all denominations currently in circulation, including the CAD 50 polymer note and the CAD 100 polymer note, as well as all smaller denominations. If you have leftover currency from a trip to Canada, we make it straightforward to exchange your banknotes for British pounds.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy older Canadian banknotes that are no longer in circulation. Whether you have paper-series notes such as the CAD 100 note issued in 2004, the CAD 1,000 note issued in 1988, or earlier designs going back decades, we will make you an offer. Damaged notes are also accepted, provided they are at least 50% intact; the rate offered may be slightly lower to reflect condition and handling.

Canadian Dollar Coins

We accept Canadian coins across all denominations, including the well-known Loonie (CAD 1 coin) and the Toonie (CAD 2 coin), as well as smaller coins such as the quarter, dime, and nickel. Most currency exchanges and banks will not take foreign coins, but we do — rates are slightly lower than for banknotes due to additional handling costs.

Canadian Dollar Exchange FAQ

Do you accept the older paper-series Canadian Dollar notes?

Yes, we do. Canada has issued several distinct series of banknotes over the decades, and we accept a wide range of withdrawn paper notes alongside the current polymer series. The rate for older or withdrawn notes may be marginally lower than for current polymer banknotes, but you will still receive a fair offer.

Can I exchange Canadian Dollar coins as well as banknotes?

Yes! We accept Canadian coins including the iconic Loonie and Toonie, as well as smaller denominations such as quarters and dimes. Coins are exchanged at a slightly lower rate than banknotes, but unlike most high street bureaux we won’t turn them away.

I have a CAD 1,000 note — is that still exchangeable?

Yes, we can exchange the CAD 1,000 note issued in 1988. This high-value note was withdrawn from circulation by the Bank of Canada, but it retains its face value and we will make you an offer on it. If you are unsure about any other rare or unusual denomination, feel free to contact us before sending.

How do I send my Canadian Dollars and when will I be paid?

Simply box up your Canadian banknotes and coins and post them to us yourself. Once we receive and verify your currency — which typically takes up to 5 working days — we will pay you via bank transfer or PayPal. Canada is a long-haul destination, so customers often find they return with a mix of denominations and coins; we handle all of it in one go. If for any reason you are not happy with the offer, we will return your currency free of charge.

Are there any Canadian Dollar denominations you won't accept?

No — we accept all Canadian Dollar banknotes and coins, from the smallest cent coin right through to higher-value and withdrawn notes. Even the rare 500 Canadian Dollar note issued in 1935 is something we can consider. If you are also travelling with other North American currency, we exchange American Dollars too.
