I’m planning a 4-day trip to Canada at the end of February. When and where should I exchange currency?

Currency Exchange
ewest06 asked:


I’m entering Canada via the Peace Bridge (New York/ Niagara entrance) and driving to Hamilton, Ontario. Should I exchange currency before crossing the border or wait until I enter Canada? Also, if I remember correctly, American citizens can still get into Canada without a passport providing they show proof of citizenship in the states. Is this still true?
PS: I realize downtown Hamilton is crack central. I’m actually headed to the suburbs of Hamilton. Closer to the sub-city of Ancaster. But I have friends in Hamilton. Thus the visit to Captain Planet’s worst nightmare. :)
