The dollar has been the currency of Canada since 1858. A number of central banks keep Canadian dollars as a reserve currency. It's known locally as a buck or a loonie, with the two-dollar coin known as a toonie.
The sheqel has been a freely convertible currency since January 1, 2003. The currency is not produced in Israel, as the country has no mint. Instead banknotes are imported by air and coins by sea.
