Important Caveats
- Rates fluctuate daily — check live rates (XE, OANDA, Google, bank)
- Banks & exchangers add margins — you'll get less than mid-market
- Coins vs. notes: Canadian pennies (1¢) were phased out in 2013 — no longer minted, but still legal tender
- Small amounts: Converting <1 CAD often incurs fixed fees — not worth it
Better Options for Sending Money to Pakistan
