So I am going to be in the Toronto area and was curious about some of the clubs there. I have already done some research on the clubs themselves, but does anyone know if there are any clubs in the Toronto / Mississauga area that accept US currency? I'm not going to be in Toronto for long so I feel like it doesn't make sense for me to exchange a bunch of cash there, plus the USD:CAD exchange rate is so close right now I feel like it shouldn't matter.
But I don't want to go into a club with a pocket full of US $1s and $20s and be refused because it's not Canadian dollars.
The US dollar is accepted almost everywhere in Canada. These days, the Canadian dollar is almost exactly equal to the US dollar (known as "par" by traders). Merchants in general, and strip clubs in particular, want the sale and will therefore take the greenback. I wouldn't bother with dollar bills, though. The smallest bill in Canada is a $5, with $1 and $2 coins instead of bills (known as the "looney" and the "tooney," I kid you not. If you pay with a big US bill, expect change in Canadian dollars.
One time a few years back, in a strip club in Ottawa, a waitress gave me a lecture about how "stupid" greenbacks were, bever bucks being diffferent sizes and colors. She took my Benjamin right after making the remark!
