The Canadian dollar began in the early 1850s with its departure from the colonial pound and transitioned to a decimalised Canadian dollar. It is usually referred to as the Loonie. The Canadian dollar used to be pegged to the USD but since 1970, it has been a free floating currency controlled by the Bank of Canada.
