Any Canadian parents in here?
My son and I were going through loose change and counting it and I noticed a few Canadian pieces, mostly what we would call quarters and pennies. (do you call them the same?) Either way, in Canada, do you find money from the US in your coin stashes from time to time?
Legit parenting question: Does your child have a change jar? How much money in change does your child have? Do you let them spend the money or does it go into a savings account?

Yes, we call them the same thing. And we do get American coins.
My daughter has a piggy bank my best friend got for her for my baby shower. She put about $10 in and I’ve added to it when I have change. She’s too young to spend it though.
Yes I find a lot of American money -and yes, we call them quarters and pennies too. I just spend them like Canadian money (talk about criminal activity!).
No kids do not have change jars. Any money for my kids goes into a savings account. If they take a huge interest in a toy and it isn’t expensive, I usually buy it and surprise them with it because they usually don’t take an interest in anything at the store.
I don’t know how much money they have, it’s currently lumped together and I’m really just saving for something they’ll need (I’m hoping university, but that is pending). I never go in the account for fear that I’ll spend it on ABA or something. If they ever get to the point where they could walk to the store and buy something they wanted, I’d probably start splitting the money and giving them piggy banks.
