Hi Mister Micawber,
Thanks. But I maybe confused you. I am trying to clarify my question.
So just imagining this. I want to withdraw $1000 from my bank. I want the money I get to be like this: 5 pieces of paper moneys with face value $100, 10 pieces of paper moneys with face value $50. If saying this way to the bank clerk, it sounds awkward. So I want to know what is the normal

Do you use the words nickel, dime and quarter in Canada too?
In the UK, we would also say "a twenty", and "a fifty", but the ten pound note is often called "a tenner" and the five pound note "a fiver". Informally, we would say 'quid' for 'pound/s' (e.g. Lend me a quid. His new bike cost four hundred quid.).
In London dialect, specific sums of money have nicknames which you rare

Hi,
Do you use the words nickel, dime and quarter in Canada too? Yes, we do. One thing we don't say, however, is the American expression, 'two bits'.
