One more thing: When we were in the Atlantic Provinces 2 years ago, we thought we could get 'cash back' on grocery purchases and did not stock up on the Canadian money that we would need for pocket money. We planned to pay for most things with our credit and debit cards. We found that in Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI, and Nova Scotia, the merchants never heard of 'cash back' and the credit card machines at the register do not offer the opportunity to request cash as part of the transaction. We also paid a 3% foreign currency conversion fee on our credit card bill, which we knew about ahead of time.
