The Old Currency in Canada

British army bills were first issued in

Canada between 1813 to 1815. Before

coins and bills were made, wampum and

fur were considered currency. In the 18th

century France and England changed

their currency from fur to coins. The

history of the coin goes from the British

and French cobniade period to the

present years of membership in the

common wealth of the nations.

What is governance in sports? Federal

governments are both active and valued

which overlap sports to help athletes

excel. Provinces will often focus on

student athletes as it falls more cleanly in
