Canadian Tire "money" — officially Canadian Tire Coupons — is a loyalty scrip program that has run continuously since 1958, making it one of the longest-lived retailer coupon currencies in North America. The 2-dollar denomination sits near the top of the series and was rarely handed out casually; cashiers typically issued it only on larger purchases, which means fewer entered circulation relative to the 5-cent and 10-cent denominations.
The coupons have no legal tender status but have traded in secondary markets, sometimes at par or above, in communities near Canadian Tire locations. The 1992–2007 print run preceded the company's eventual shift toward a digital loyalty points system, which quietly displaced physical scrip for most transactions.
