Des jetons à la monnaie de papier, puis de polymère, la monnaie canadienne a pris diverses formes au cours des siècles. On voit ci-dessous des pièces « peau de castor » en argent ainsi qu'une plaque d'impression et des outils de gravure. Depuis 1935, la Banque du Canada a la responsabilité de concevoir et d'émettre les billets de banque canadiens, qui comportent des éléments de sécurité et des images d'importance nationale.
