The "Haweater Dollar" takes its name from the colloquial term for Manitoulin Island natives, derived from the hawthorn berries historically foraged there. This piece was issued by the Manitoulin Ski Club as a local trade dollar — a fundraising and promotional instrument circulated among participating island businesses rather than a government-authorized currency. Such tokens enjoyed a minor boom across small Canadian communities during the 1980s, typically redeemable at face value within a defined merchant network for a limited season.
Manitoulin is the world's largest freshwater island, a fact locals rarely let pass unmentioned.
