Many Maritime businesses follow the Fair Exchange Program  that insures that American visitors get the best exchange rate possible for their money.  Look for the Fair Exchange logo displayed on the outside of businesses and accommodations. American money can also be exchanged for Canadian money at banks, credit unions, trust companies and at some visitor information centers located near entry points.

Most businesses in the Maritimes accept major credit cards and travelers cheques. Credit card purchases made in Canadian dollars will automatically be converted to your home currency.
