One Dollar of History

What's happened to the Canadian dollar since way back? Wonder no longer: the Bank of Canada skimmed some cash and wrote this long history of the Canadian Dollar.

For me, all I that's gotten me interested is that Curious Comics and Legends are selling all of their comics at US Prices (until people bitch that the Canadian Dollar now buys $1.07 US)
