In Canada, a dime is a coin worth ten cents. It has been the physically smallest Canadian coin since 1922; it is smaller even than the penny, despite its higher face value. According to the Royal Canadian Mint, the official national term of the coin is the 10-cent piece, but in practice, the term dime predominates in English-speaking Canada. It is nearly identical in size to the American dime. Unlike its American counterpart, the Canadian dime is magnetic due to a distinct metal composition. From 1968 to 1999, it was composed entirely of nickel, and since 2000, it has consisted of a steel core with plating composed of layers of nickel and copper.

  • In Canada, a dime is a coin worth ten cents. It has been the physically smallest Canadian coin since 1922; it is smaller even than the penny, despite its higher face value. According to the Royal Canadian Mint, the official national term of the coin is the 10-cent piece, but in practice, the term dime predominates in English-speaking Canada. It is nearly identical in size to the American dime. Unlike its American counterpart, the Canadian dime is magnetic due to a distinct metal composition. From 1968 to 1999, it was composed entirely of nickel, and since 2000, it has consisted of a steel core with plating composed of layers of nickel and copper. Currently the dime has, as with all Canadian coins, a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. The reverse contains a representation of the Bluenose, a famous Canadian schooner. According to the Royal Canadian Mint, "Artist Emanuel Hahn developed his design for the 10-cent coin from photos of the famous Bluenose schooner." The coin is produced by the Royal Canadian Mint at its facility in Winnipeg. The word dime comes from the French word dîme, meaning "tithe" or "tenth part", from the Latin decima [pars]. (en)

  • Канадский дайм — монета номиналом десять центов. Самая маленькая (по размеру) монета Канады. Королевский монетный двор Канады официально установил название — 10 центов, однако на практике слово дайм более распространено. По размерам монета практически совпадает с Даймом США, однако отличается от него материалом из которого изготовлен. С 1968 по 1999 год дайм изготавливался из никеля, а с 2000 года из стали. Художник, Эмануэль Хан, использовал три корабля при создании реверса, включая Bluenose его модели. Слово дайм означает одну десятую часть или десятину. (ru)
