I have lived on border cities for many years (Sarnia, Ontario across from
Port Huron, Michigan (near Detroit); and Hamilton, Ontario -- close to 
Niagara Falls).  Because of this, I have crossed the border many times.
Most of the time there is no trouble; however ----.  To be on the safe
side, carry a birth certificate and other ID (at least 3 pieces).  As
a Canadian,  it is recommended that we carry a birth certificate, a 
drivers liscence, and/or a social insurance card.  My mother was
born in Holland.  She is required to carry her Canadian Citizen card
whenever she is in the states (she is seldom asked to produce the card
at the border).  If a visitor is not a Canadian or American citizen,
a Visa is required.  We have had visitors from HOLLAND land at the 
Detroit airport for convenience and require a Visa to get into Canada.

I know of no rules regarding money.

One final warning:  ALWAYS CARRY ID.  You may get into Canada without 
problems, but presumably you also want to leave.
