1 Canadian Dollar = 0.70507 Euro
1 Euro (EUR) = 1.41829 Canadian Dollar (CAD)

Median price = 0.70419 / 0.70507 (bid/ask)
Estimated price based on daily US dollar rates.

You may recall the controversy when the new Canadian $10 bill (pictured in an earlier post above) was issued with the verse of "In Flanders Fields" as follows:

"In Flanders Fields the poppies blow ..."

Well, that's the Flanders in Belgium, not in The Simpsons. Homer Simpson would be quick to point out that the verse should read "grow" not "blow" but that has been clarified by snopes.com:

So, we're all clear now ... in Flanders Fields the poppies blow ... and in Canada ... the dollar blows!
