Oh Canada

canquarter.jpgI paid cash for my breakfast this morning and received some change that was burning a hole in my pocket, so I decided to buy some Peanut M&M’s.

Every time I put a quarter in the vending machine, it was being returned.  Finally I took a look at it, and lo and behold, I had a Canadian Quarter.

Maybe some of my Canadian readers can tell me who the chick on the quarter is?  Queen Elizabeth?  If so, why?

And is there any difference between Canadian Bacon and ham?
