How do you tip strippers outside the U.S.?

A friend of mine just posed this question: In the UK and Canada, there are no paper bills -- only coins -- for the dollar and euro. (Paper currency all has higher denominations.) So, how do you tip strippers? Does tipping start at the equivalent of $5 or $10? Do they carry change purses on stage with them? Or is tipping at the stage just a U.S. phenomenon? There must be some world travelers on this site who have experience in foreign clubs.

meanwhile in Canada where i club mostly, its usually the americans who have travelled over the border who tip and they just use their own one dollar bills which works fine. have even seen people changing canadian dollars for USA dollar single bills so they can still do their thing.
A He comes up behind her and gives her a good push.
Toonie toss if you're a high roller.
When I was last in Vancouver I was told I should just tip with C$5 notes. Not sure if that is standard. The place (Brandi's) was a ripoff.
Hilarious!!!!!!
Alberta is the home of the loonie/toonie toss. Personally I hate this practice but it has long been entrenched as a tradition in Alberta clubs. Many Alberta clubs have change machines where guys can convert a $20 bill into loonies.
First time visitors to Alberta clubs find this loonie/toonie toss to be either entrancing or boring. The dancers love it. When the Rig Pig in Nisku is full of well refreshed oil patch guys a dancer can easily pick up $250 in loonies and toonies after each dance set that she performs. After 4 or 5 dance sets per day a good dancer will put away some serious cash for each week that she works at the crusty old Rig Pig club. No private dances at that club.
To repeat, I have never seen this loonie/toonie toss at any strip cub that I have visited in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, or Nova Scotia.
