Why? Just use an ATM card in Canada and then get change for the
bank notes.

BTW, are there any pictures of what the proposed $5 Canadian coins
might look like? i.e., are they two-parters like the twonie?

BTW, I heard an American call the twonie a "dubloon". Is that
nickname in use in Canada?

You may be referring to the commemorative $1 Loonie bearing the image
of George Bush; the so called Dub-Loon.

done so...as far as I am concerned BTW all politicians are BLOOMING

Uhhhhh... Try a bank?

Really, that is probably the best place. Just bring in your
country's cash - notes only - to a bank. If you have anything
other than American money, you may need to go to a larger branch.
And just hand it over, and tell the teller what denominations you
want to receive. You don't need an account there, but might need
ID if it is a large sum.

This may get you a better rate than a bureaux de change type
establishment, or a hotel front desk.

It should be easy. I've heard that there is lots and lots of
Canadian currency floating around all over Toronto, and other
parts of Canada. Strangely enough...

According to Wikipedia, the minor (less than a loonie) Canadian
coins have steel cores. Are they magnetic? If not, why not?
The article does not list chromium as a constituent, which it
would have to be if the cores were stainless steel.

Yes, they are magnetic.

Most recent cents are magnetic, but there have been some
after the change which appear to be plated zinc.
There have been some cupronickel 5-cent pieces as
recently as 2006.

I think it is a fairly low cost grade of steel which
is plated with either copper or nickel depending on
the denomination.
