(Lively music plays)

In animation, a Canadian flag flaps atop the Parliament of Canada.

In fast clips, a stick figure person plays hockey and a fish leaps out of water.

[SPLASHING]

A plane flies over Toronto and an RCMP officer salutes.

An animated slate showing a colourful map of Canada pops up and children say MY CANADA!

[GIGGLING]

A kid giggles and says SWEET.

A teacher faces a classroom while kids laugh and chat. He is balding and has short, black hair on the sides of his head. He wears a white shirt and a striped tie. He stands in front of a map of Canada, a chalkboard with coins, and a TV set.

The teacher says FOR OUR LESSON TODAY CLASS, I'M GOING TO TEACH YOU ABOUT CANADIAN MONEY. IF YOU LOOK OVER HERE ON THE CHALKBOARD YOU WILL SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. WE HAVE A PENNY, A NICKEL, A DIME, A QUARTER, A LOONY AND A TOONY. HEY, THAT REMINDS ME OF A JOKE. A MOTHER ASKS HER SON AFTER SCHOOL, "SON WHY DID YOU SWALLOW THE MONEY I GAVE YOU?" AND THE SON SAYS, "'CAUSE YOU SAID IT WAS MY LUNCH MONEY." OH.

He makes a goofy face and kids laugh.

A chalkboard appears that reads "WHAT ARE THE SYMBOLS ON OUR MONEY?"

A girl with long, brown hair and a striped red-and-white T-shirt says QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND.

A boy with short, brown hair and a gray shirt says THERE'S A LEAF ON A PENNY.

A girl with long, brown hair pulled back and a green T-shirt says UH THERE'S A BEAVER.

A girl with long, black hair wearing a headband and a plaid shirt chuckles and says THE BLUE NOSE SHIP.

A girl with loose, long, black hair and a blue T-shirt says A MOOSE.

A boy with short, brown hair, and a basketball jersey says A LOON.

A girl with loose, long, brown hair and a pink T-shirt says AND THE POLAR BEAR.

The teacher says I'VE GOT SOME SAMPLES OF MONEY THAT I'M GOING TO HAND OUT FOR YOU TO LOOK AT. NOW YOU CAN'T KEEP THE MONEY, IT'S MY MONEY AND I NEED IT BACK AND IF I DON'T GET THE MONEY BACK THEN I CAN'T GET HOME BECAUSE I NEED IS FOR THE BUS SO LET'S WATCH A VIDEO WHILE I PASS AROUND THE MONEY.

(music plays)

He turns on the TV. It shows a piggy bank and coins coming out from its slot.

The song says WHAT'S ON A PENNY? WHAT'S ON A DIME? WHAT'S ON A NICKEL? OUR MONEY HAS SIGNS WHAT'S ON THE PENNY? DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS THERE? IT'S THE MAPLE LEAF LOOK, IT'S EVERYWHERE! WHAT'S ON THE NICKEL? DO YOU THINK THAT YOU KNOW? IT'S OUR OFFICIAL ANIMAL THE BEAVER, SAY HELLO! WHAT'S ON A DIME OH I THINK THAT I KNOWS IT'S A FAMOUS RACING SCHOONER CALLED THE BLUENOSE AND ON THE QUARTER NOT A PIGLET NOR A GOOSE OH ON THE QUARTER IT'S A CARIBOU! ON THE ONE DOLLAR COIN NOT A CAT OR BABOON ON THE ONE DOLLAR COIN IS A LOON ON THE TWO DOLLAR COIN NOT A PARTRIDGE OR A PEAR ON THE TWO DOLLAR COIN IT'S A POLAR BEAR! TURN THEM ALL OVER AND WHAT DO YOU SEE? THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND AND SHE'S LOOKING AT ME!

The teacher says ON OUR PENNY IS MAPLE LEAF.

The teacher speaks while the TV shows a pile of pennies and then a Canadian flag.

He continues THE MAPLE LEAF IS ALSO ON OUR CANADIAN FLAG. ON THE NICKEL IS THE BEAVER, WHEN THE EARLY EUROPEAN EXPLORERS FIRST CAME TO CANADA FUR TOP HATS WERE ALL THE RAGE, THUS BEAVER FURS WERE IN DEMAND.

The video shows a pile of nickels, a painting of Europeans meeting indigenous peoples, and a black-and-white drawing of a man and a woman wearing beaver fur clothes.

The man in the drawing says DO YOU LIKE MY HAT?

The teacher continues YES, THE BEAVER IS A RODENT BUT IT IS THE LARGEST RODENT IN CANADA AND NOW IT'S CANADA'S OFFICIAL ANIMAL.

Real-life beavers lay down.

The teacher continues HEY WHAT DO YOU SAY TO A SAD BEAVER? WHY THE LOG FACE.

He laughs and says REALLY, LIKE COME ON. THAT'S, THAT'S LIKE MY BEST JOKE. ON A TEN CENT PIECE, THE DIME IS THE BLUENOSE.

The video shows a pile of dimes and then the Bluenose. A caption reads "Nova Scotia Economic and Rural Development and Tourism."

He continues THE BLUENOSE WAS A FAMOUS CANADIAN RACING AND FISHING BOAT. THE BLUENOSE WAS SO FAST THAT IN THE 18 YEARS OF RACING IT WAS NEVER DEFEATED. MOST PEOPLE THINK IT'S A MOOSE ON OUR QUARTER BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S A CARIBOU. CARIBOU ARE LIKE MOOSE BUT MUCH SMALLER.

The TV shows a pile of quarters and then a caribou grazing, and then a pile of one dollar coins and a loon.

He continues THE LOON IS ON OUR ONE DOLLAR COIN, THUS THE NICK NAME, THE LOONY. AND THE POLAR BEAR IS ON OUR TWO DOLLAR COIN OR TOONY.

Two polar bears roam between rocks. A caption reads "Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism."

He says THE QUEEN IS ALSO ON OUR COINS, ENGLAND IS ONE OF THE COUNTRIES THAT FOUNDED CANADA AND THEREFORE THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND IS A PRETTY BIG DEAL HERE.

Many coins fall into a pile and then Queen Elizabeth II greets people.

He continues ALSO, OUR COUNTRY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY WHICH MEANS QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND IS THE OFFICIAL HEAD OF CANADA.

The video shows the Parliament Building, followed by the Queen stepping off from her carriage.

[BELL RINGING]

Kids yell YAY!

The teacher says CLASS IS OVER AND SO IS LESSON ON CANADIAN MONEY. UH, BEFORE WE LEAVE HOWEVER, I'M A WELL, I'M GOING TO NEED THE MONEY I HANDED YOU BACK NOW. HEH, UH, NO ONE HAS IT? NO ONE HAS THE MONEY I GAVE YOU TO LOOK AT?

He sighs and says CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME A LIFT HOME THEN PLEASE?

Kids laugh and the show ends.

The end slate reads "TVOKIDS, Copyright 2011, The Ontario Educational Commission Authority."
