Actually, at one point it hit $1.62, and on that day I just happened to shift a few grand from my US account to my Cdn savings account. That was....sweet.




I remember back in the early 70's, when the Cdn dollar was worth $1.10 US. When vacationing in the States, my mom would send me to exchange a dollar for her, and she'd always let me keep that extra dime. That was heaven.
I remeber those days down in Fargo or Grand Forks.
Went through the same thing. Used to use the extra money to play pinball.
