Cash and deposits consist of coins; bank notes; money orders; postal notes; cheques; accepted sight drafts; demand, notice and term deposit balances with banks and other financial institutions (e.g., Alberta Treasury Branches). Term deposits that are cashable on demand should be classified under term deposits. This category distinguishes between Canadian and foreign currency. Canadian currency is classified into cash on hand, including amounts in transit. Foreign holdings are shown at the Canadian dollar equivalent converted at current closing rate.
