Kind of funny you said that, the US 20 recently became kinda multicolored.
Wait...the beavers aren't in downtown Toronto, are they? Or, are they the Canadian equivilant to our pidgeons?

We have pidgeons too luv.
I shoot them at my farm (they're an infestation). They replaced the passenger pigeons after man (and all of our intelligence), shot the whole bloody species. (then again, the birds were really stupid and would flock to their dead kin only of course... to be shot more. But still).
No, beavers don't live in suburbia. If theres river valleys or parks, sometimes they will. Edmonton (in western canada, Alberta) has an extensive park system and river valley; and the beavers there are actually hugely territorial and very mean.
There was a case a few years back where a male beaver had to be removed because it had taken to attacking dogs and humans, and had actually mauled (and killed) someones german shepherd dog! Rather brutal creatures.
Note to you.
Don't poke the beavers.

Oh! If you do get Canadian Currency, you need to get a new 20$ bill.
So cool, if you turn them, bend them or hold them up to the light, you see all sorts of nifty stuff you wouldn't see if you just held it up and looked.

Ok, I looked at that and read it as "Canadian Otter" and laughed, because at that moment my brain decided to mix up otters and beavers.

The loonies are cool. I remember when they first came out. 
My dad has some of the old Canadian $1 bills saved away from our trips to Canada when I was little. It's cool to look back at things like that.

Accents??? Wha-??? Most stores are willing to accept U.S. dollars or Pounds, so don't worry 'bout that. Have fun!

No store I've EVER worked in Toronto has accepted pounds, some places accept USD but they generally use their own conversion and charge whatever they want. It's pretty gross.

Well, I hope you have fun, I just went to Toronto for 4 days, it is very nice. I didn't know you lived in Toronto, Xil, someone could have told me that 
Our Money is cool, and us candians have accents? I didn't know that eh?
I have more of a Lanark accent though, it comes from living here. *sigh*
