Denominations came in five cents through one hundred cents -- and in one \"White Fox\" representing the value of one literal Arctic fox, which was a standard unit of trade amongst the Inuit. Tokens were used until the early 1960s, when they were gradually phased out and replaced with standard Canadian currency.","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53373586178337,"sku":"Sept.DOD-R290","price":109.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/R290.jpg?v=1787752265","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/r290","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
