Graham, What do you mean that Canadian is not worth as much. These
French Canadian guys that come down here tell me that Canadian is worth
more now. I've been giving them $1.10 American.

What they've been showing you is probably something called "Canadian Tire
money", coupons redemable at a national retail chain in Canada. Passing
off Canadian Tire money as Canadian currency is a favourite passtime of
Canadans travelling abroad. Sort of like Americans passing of Confederate
money as US currency up here.

The Canadian dollar is currently worth about 72 cents US. US dollar is
therefore worth 100/72 or $1.39 Canadian. You give them 72 cents. They
give you $1.39.
