Yes, it’s quite wierd. Technically we’re getting more when we find american coins. =P Why did we have to make our coins the exact same colors, shape and size for each value?! And we even call it the same thing!! Penny, dime, nickel, and quarter…except you guys don’t have loony and toonie. =P We should follow Europe’s example and make a united North American Dollar. =D
Yup
course
Quite often. When the Canadian dollar was not doing as well, I knew people that would go to great lengths to get American coins. They would then cash them in when they went on trips to the U.S.
Yes (cksq) Wribbet Wribbet Wribbet
Sometimes..not as often as the other way around though. Odd isn’t it??
Yup, all the time. Mostly just smaller coins, pennies, nickels, dimes.. quarters are a real find!
all the time.
Yes, that’s life..eh?
Yes, usually I only notice when i am trying to stick the money in a parking meter or vending machine and it won’t accept it!!!
Yup. So far, I have saved US$121.78 to spend on slot machines when I go to Vegas :-p
When I was bartending, people used to tip us American coins to get rid of it.
I find them all the time. We put them aside for our next trip down. I have a question for you. are you able to use them in every day transaction like when you go to the corner store? I’ve mistakenly pulled out Canadian coin when I’m down there & the teller/cashier has given them back, even a penny. We use the US coins up here all the time.
I find them all the time. I even got some Euro coins the other day.
It all depends on where you live. If you live in a big city where there are a lot of tourists (like I do), you’re more likely to find foreign change.
Yes, i do, not as often as when i was in the big city though, But whatever, its all money.
it happens fairly often actually.
All the time!!
I also get Mexican pesos, coins from Austrailia & Barbados.
Same dimensions.
At least you don’t have a Loonie & Toonie!
I’ve always wondered if Americans got our money in thier change!
Yes.Mostly just pennies.
Ah, mais oui. C’est un petit cadeau….
All the time - especially dimes and pennies.
Lots of times.
yes once in awhile I’ll get American change..not often though..change..unless you have a fair bit of it…isn’t worth anything more than ours is….BUT…your American change will work in our vending machines…Ours won’t work in yours
lol
all the time
We clean out about $5.00 US in coins from our cash register at work every day. I live close to the Niagara Falls border, so we get a lot of Americans getting gas where I work. We get lots of bills too, especially on long weekends.
I run a small business, and i get between $ 1.00 and $5 a week in US coin. Can’t get exchange on coin. So it just gets passed on. Have had customers who will not part with US coins, saving it for next trip south I guess.
yes
Yes, mostly dimes, quarters or pennies.
