Well .... every US dollar is worth $1.26 Canadian. If you are up here, just multiply any Canadian price by .8 (80%) and you'll get what it would be in US.

okiecoiner, perhaps I should rephrase my question. If I brought any US coins there, would they sell at a higher price than they do in the US? |

No, I don't think that they would be worth more here.

I assumed they would be about the same price, but I figured I would ask! Thanks, okiecoiner.

I would say you will get more money for any Canadain money north of the boarder. Its a bit of a grey area with regards to customs. It is just money afterall. I may have said too much already. Bringing things back could be tricky if one didnt want to pay duty. There could be good deals to be had on USA coins. Just dont let boarder guards cetch you smuggling in raw 1800's. They will know its not pocket change.  |

UPDATE - I recently returned from my trip and was able to visit a few shops. Here are my thoughts on the shops I was able to visit.
Metro Coin and Banknote was one of the best shops I've ever been to. Jared was able to help me find modest notes for my budget but still in nice condition. He is clearly very knowledgeable and reasonable with his prices. I was able to add many older circulation notes to my type set and learn more about the series as well. He was very helpful and made a great deal for me! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Toronto! Great selection and prices for all budgets.
London Coin Centre was also good, but I wasn't able to stay for more than 30 minutes sadly. I didn't get a chance to look at everything unfortunately, but it looks like a shop I would visit again if I was in the area.
Bay Coin & Stamp was not worth my time. We went to the mall where it's located and I happened to walk by the store. I asked about a 1939 Canada dollar - the price was a bit high for what I wanted, so I asked him what he thought the grade was. Without looking at the coin he said MS 62/64. Scuffs on George's face and wear on the reverse clearly made this a lower grade. The younger man working said XF/AU, which I agreed with. He still wouldn't budge from a high price and was not friendly. Don't waste your time at this store.

If you are a banknote collector, Jared Stapleton is an executive for the Canadian Paper Money Society, and served as the president for two years (2013-2015). Jared is a paper money collector turned coin & banknote dealer, so you definitely picked the right shop if banknotes were on your shopping list... http://www.cpmsonline.ca/executive.php"Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

Yeah, Jared certainly knew his banknotes well and mentioned he was involved with the Charlton catalog also. I was very impressed by his banknote knowledge! I'm working on a banknote type set starting with the 1954 series, and I now have quite a few more notes in that series thanks to his help.

I recommend Cdn Coin & Currency, they are authorized, on Yonge St in Richmond Hill, and have a lot of stuff, inexpensive, and they carry mint sold out coins, along with customer sold coins too.

Just asking, are the shops listed RCM authorized? No offence, but coins may be fake if not authorized. |

RCM authorisation means dealers are forced to buy RCM products to sell in their shop, whether they like it or not. NCLT is slow to sell in many cases (I've seen stuff that's just sat there for years), not every dealer can afford that.

 I saw a 2009 mint Montreal Canadiens set that's been sitting there for 9 years, so yeah it kind of makes sense. |
