1. Understanding of our Coins

There are 6 types of Canadian Coins:-

1. Penny (one cent) – 1¢
2. Nickel (five cents) – 5¢
3. Dime (10 cents) – 10¢
4. Quarter (25 cents) – 25¢
5. Loonie (one dollar) – $1
6. Toonie (two dollars) – $2

Nowadays, we can say that there are 5 types of Canadian Coins as Penny (one cent) is no longer in production.

What makes a Toonie (Two dollars)?

• 200 Pennies (or cents)
• 40 Nickels
• 20 Dimes
• 8 Quarters

What makes a Loonie (One dollar)?

• 100 Pennies (or cents)
• 20 Nickels
• 10 Dimes
• 4 Quarters

What makes a Quarter (25 cents)?

• 25 Pennies (or cents)
• 5 Nickels
• 2 Dimes and 1 Nickel

What makes a Dime (10 cents)?

• 10 Pennies (or cents)
• 2 Nickels

What makes a Nickel (5 cents)?

• 5 Pennies (or cents)

What makes a Penny (one cent)?

• Nothing makes poor Penny. But penny makes everyone. So, penny takes care of everyone.
