What do Canadians do when they get American coins?
    #26697665 - 05/26/20 06:11 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Once in a great while I get Canadian coins with my change and I always set them aside like they are Spanish doubloons. Do Canadians give a shit when they get nickels and dimes mixed in with their currency.

American coins are accepted as currency at the same value of a Canadian coin.  Most people don't even notice the difference.  Some try to collect them and roll them to exchange but the fees bring them back to Canadian value.

Essentially, we generally don't care

Yeah I just give them to the cashier. It's not THAT much more valuable that anyone gives a shit.. lol. They look kinda cool though.

You could be making 17 cents if you play your card right.

I live in Michigan and I can tell you, you can't grab a handfull of coins out of any pile without finding a Canadian somewhere.

Only bummer is American vending machines do not accept Canadian coins.  Otherwise, they are just treated like regular coins.  I imagine, for the most part, along the Canadian border, and about 100 miles in, it's the same as it is in Michigan

Sometimes USA quarters don't work in the laundry machines.

I think your coins look cool! Maple leafs and shit. I don't even know who's on our dime. Ceasar? Caligula?

I got change a few months ago after getting groceries and got a couple of old coins. The oldest is a nickel from 1922; the first Canadian coin I've seen without the queen on the back.
I also have a nickel from 1967 with a cool Jack Rabbit on it.
Coins are dope.

I remember about ten years ago when for about two days the Canadian dollar was worth more than the American dollar.

It was the magic period before fracking, when the oil sands were printing money. Gas was $4 a gallon and Fort MacMurray was the capital of the world.

They politely apologize to everyone about the mix up, and the coins dissolve into maple syrup.

All coinage is pretty neat, I used to have a pretty fair collection when I was a bit younger but I lost interest and sold it for $200-300 iirc. Dude probably made 2-3x that honestly. Some of the neatest coinage comes from third world countries. I've got some from I think Croatia, a few different European countries, one from Africa that escapes me. I've got a few cool ones still. The caribou on ours is kinda neat but I openly scoff at the damn queen on our shit :nonono:

Stephanie, from Quebec, saves coins/papper currencies, then take a trip here to spend it at a later date.

Canadians love visiting the the US of A.

Gotta come get that vitamin D. Just ask Stephanie.

Yeah dude the older the better. I can hear it when Im about to be handed an old quarter that was made with real silver. Our currency now isn't worth the metal it was made out of. You can dissolve pennies in soda and be left with a filiment of copper.

I've gotten a few pesos a time or two. Or more precisely some centavos.

Old silver coins are great fun to hold and imagine how they were traded.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Those have all been pretty much taken out of circulation here.
I very rarely find a quarter older than the early 80's
