Dear Canadians,

Do you occasionally get an American quarter in your change?​

Sincerely, curious.

Dear Curious,
Yes we do and depending on how close to the USA border a person is dictates to a degree how many

^^^Good question...because I bet I get some sort of Canadian coinage once every couple of weeks.

And along this topic...I got a USA Visa a while back as I was getting pissed on the principle alone of getting a 2% exchange added to my purchases.

I have American change on a regular basis.

This is a really legit question. More than a few times I get Canadian change out of vending machines.

I once threw a couple American quarters into a Canadian tollbooth...so I suppose I'm partially responsible for the problem...

i dont look that closely...

are there size differences between them or no? if not, im sure i've had some before.. just never realized it..

The quarters are slightly smaller. The pennies are virtually the same size, I can only tell them apart if I actually read what's on it.


I see lots of Canadian coins, being as close to the border as I am. Heck, I've got $45 Canadian in my wallet right now, from the last time I was up there.

haha...

then i really dont know if i've ever had some... who knows..

I actually collect US currency and still trying to get all the states quarters from 2005

basic change for when I'm down there to spend it
and USD bank account for when I need folding money or for travellers cheques

I have a few sets of collectable coins

and

a chitload of quarters, dimes, and nickels for US visits,.

And you and I are HOW far from Canada? About 800 miles I think!!

I get Canadian change in my store all the time and the bank won't even accept it so I have to pass it off to customers that don't pay attention to the coin change.

I just find that really weird.

Odd that your bank won't take it, here it doesn't make any difference for the most part.
