7) Ten dollar notes here are pink, whilst fives are blue. Most confusing since it's the other way 'round back home. And the coins are 1 cent, 2 cents, 5 cents (called a nickel and about the size of an Aussie ten cent coin), 10 cents (called a dime and the size of an Aussie five), twenty-five cents (called a quarter), one dollar (called a loonie, since it has a picture of a loon on it) and two dollars (called twonies, since they're two loonies).
You know.... you still have it lucky. You can just memorize numbers and colors. Where I come from all the bills are green. To think, if I lived in Canada or Austrailia, I wouldn't have had to learn to count. And that's one less thing.
