Digital loonie? Bank of Canada wants your thoughts on potential new currency

The Bank of Canada wants to know what Canadians think about the possibility of a digital loonie.

Consultations on what Canadians would like to have included in a digital currency are open online from May 8 until June 19, the Bank of Canada said Monday.

The central bank notes, however, that the decision to launch a digital version of the Canadian dollar remains in the hands of Parliament and physical coins and banknotes aren’t going anywhere.
