   À LA CARTE: Let’s give credit where it’s due

   

   The humble credit card has been part of Canadian culture for over half a century. Plastic payments give us the freedom to buy what we need or go where we want, days before payday.

   From 6 January to 8 April, the Currency Museum does credit to the credit card. À La Carte is a new exhibition that explores the evolution of credit as currency.
