Portland's over 300 miles from the border, the smallest Canadian denomination most places will accept is a $5, and probably soon a $10 as soon as Canada phases out the $5 bill. Canadian coinage is considered Monopoly Money since the prices banks charge to deal with it is more than the value of the coin. That being said, though, there's a currency exchange on every corner anyway, wich will handle small amounts of Canadian coin at a reasonable price. -- .''`.
