You are going to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. You try to buy a $5 bag of chips with a $5 US bill. The cashier says "No."

Why won't they take your money?
What do you have to do to get those chips?

Because you’re on the Canadian side and they want Canadian dollars (not a US $5 bill).

To get the chips you must pay in Canadian currency — e.g. change your US bill at a bank/ATM or currency exchange, use a debit/credit card that charges in CAD, or cross to the U.S. side and buy them there with US money.
