"[M]oney" means banknotes and coins that are legal tender in the country of issue. We are also of the opinion that deposits referred to in paragraph (a) of the definition of qualified investment in section 204 may be denominated in Canadian dollars or in any foreign currency.

Pursuant to s. 150(1.2)(b), the exception from trust reporting requirements under s. 150(1.1) - that may be available to individuals with no Part I tax payable or relevant dispositions - can apply to a trust for a particular tax year where the trust holds assets restricted to listed types of property including “money,” with an FMV not exceeding $50,000 throughout the year.
