Many Canadian retail stores, restaurants, and tourist attractions near the border accept U.S. currency in cash, but they are legally under no obligation to do so, and merchants who do accept greenbacks will typically apply an unfavorable internal exchange rate. Furthermore, change is almost universally returned in Canadian dollars. To avoid poor conversion rates and administrative hassle, visitors are strongly advised to use Canadian currency, pay with a no-foreign-transaction-fee credit card, or withdraw local currency from Canadian bank ATMs.
