Show Me The Money


Canadian Tire is well known for many things, but one item they're known for in particular is their innovative use of their version of money.  I am sure a lot of you who have shopped at Canadian Tire are familiar with the colourful Canadian Tire Money that you receive as "change" after purchasing something at the store.  Well, Canadian Tire Money was first introduced in 1958 and was inspired by the wife of Canadian Tire's Co-founder, A.J. Billes.   It was only available at the Canadian Tire Gas Bars at first, but due to its popularity, it was introduced into the retail outlets in 1961. Some examples of the colourful money are shown below.
