This article appears to have gone through a few iterations over the past decade. I think it started out as "Commemorative Canadian currency", which I think later got merged with "History of Canadian currency." Then, a few years ago it got changed to "History of the Canadian dollar", apparently for no other reason than someone thought it should be consistent with the article on the US dollar. The problem with that re-naming is that this article isn't just about the history of the Canadian dollar; it's a history of currency in Canada, starting with the indigenous peoples, going through New France, then the British colonial period, and finally Canada from 1867 onwards. I think it should be moved back to "History of Canadian currency". Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 15:38, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
I've been working on this article and have discovered that a large part of it is simply copied from a web-page of the Royal Canadian Mint: https://www.mint.ca/store/dyn/PDFs/RollTimeline_e.pdf. That raises obvious concerns with copyright. I'm going to continue working on the article and will gradually re-write the material so that the content is kept, but it is no longer a copy of the Mint's document.
