The track listings of the two releases also differ — the Canadian version contains the tracks "Mike Hammer" and "Liberation", while the U.S. release includes a re-recording of the band's 1994 hit "Push", as well as a new version of "Comes and Goes".

The album also contains an unlisted bonus track, entitled "Deliver Me".

On the Canadian release, both spines spell the album title as "Mercedes Five and Dime", matching the front cover, suggesting that this is the official spelling of the album's title. The spelling "MERCEDES 5 AND DIME" is wrapped around the front and back covers (with "DIME" and "MER" on the back), while the traycard behind the disc has an image that spells the album title as "MERCEDES 5 & DIME".

Mercedes 5 and Dime was nominated for "Best Rock Album" at the 2000 Juno Awards.
