I'd never thought about it before. But I noticed that when I went back to England at Christmas my Canadian-bought wallet was too small for British notes.

Yes but pound coins and two pound coins (pound notes disappeared rather a long time ago!!! ) are actually much thicker and heavier than their Canadian counterparts.

Canadian notes are a very slightly smaller width, but a slightly larger height than U.S. ones.

British notes are still much larger and pound coins will not be able to fit in the average North American wallet.
