Cochrane Dollars bring people together in our community and support the local economy.
Paper bills are available in the following values: C$1, C$2, C$5, C$10 and C$20.
The Cochrane Dollars you spend stay with local businesses and stimulate the local economy, instead of leaving Cochrane and getting spent elsewhere.
One Cochrane Dollar = one Canadian dollar. That means each Cochrane Dollar in circulation has CAN$1 in the bank (at ATB Financial) to secure it.
