Colonial origins and early coins
During the colonial period, Canadian provinces used a mixture of British, French and Spanish coins. In 1858, the Canadian dollar was introduced as the official currency, although each province maintained some autonomy in the issuance of coins. An important milestone was the Confederation of Canada in 1867, which marked the beginning of a gradual monetary unification. The first official Canadian coins were minted in 1870, featuring designs that reflected the country's British heritage.
