i dont usually keep em i kinda throw em in the trash since they aint worth my time to the bank. I wasnt taking a shot at u guys really i wasnt, i just know that the exhcange rate was really bad. It turned out ur currency at a time when i last checked was like 75 cents ur money to our dollar. Which means if i wanted my quarter back id have to pay the bank money for coins i didnt ask for to begin with

Don't throw them out. What are you, stupid?

Save them for vending machines or patriotic right-wing Walmart vendor.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Missed the last part
execcpt the merchants here pay attention when we are passing coins. it aint like passing a gall stone or anything

[Asher]

If a cashier is paying specific attention to the details on the coins, he or she is too slow and needs to be fired.

I like the MS Paint job done on that image of the coin

Its a freakin' quarter-- throw it out or not-- when I get American money I just spend it with the rest of my change

The exchange was 90 cents on the dollar so in theory 25 cents canadian is worth 22.5 cents American. If you folks continue to run up your debt the way you do, perhaps we can get back to par

[Mrs. Tuberski]

and not to mention candainan coins aint the only ones that end up in our change. We get mexican currency as well. The point is they cashier watches what he takes in from customers but doesnt watch what comes in the rolls of coins they take

yeah thats good for u if ur province or city taes american currency, we dont have any stores in texas that take canadian money. I was talking about a few years ago when the exchange rate was like 75c to one dollar it was only 2 to 3 years ago

I wondered if this would be a really big issue-- ITs not like you are in a Canaduian border state IIRC

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Its not al a big deal, we get the peso as much as we get teh canadian money that matches our own currency that can be slipped into a roll of coins. Its a rip off to some of us cause we get a usless coin but it aint worth running to the bank

[KrazyHorse]

I spend Canadian coins in US vending machines and parking meters all the time.
