Dunno if you have any Canadians who watch your journal, but last time I looked, the Canadian nickel had a beaver on it. The quarter had an elk. The dime had a sailing ship (the Bluenose I think.) The penny had a maple leaf. No buffalo that I can remember. The front side of all current Canadian coins has Queen Elizabeth II, of course. I believe "Queen of Canada" is still one of her nominal titles.
US nickels had a buffalo on one side and an Indian portrait on the other side back between the two world wars.
