how do I pass a bash variable to curl?

Question

I'm having difficulty passing a bash variable to curl. My script is as follows:

now=$(date)

curl --data-binary '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","id":"curltext","method":"importprivkey","params":["test",$now,false]}' -H 'content-type:text/plain;' http://chad:[email protected]:8332/

$now isn't passing to the curl string. What am I missing?
