Im in Vancouver, every time I buy from J&M I get great coins back for change. One time it was 4 nickel dollar coins another was crisp 1 dollar bills. A bright red 1967 penny as well. Obviously these are only worth face value....but its a lot of fun to get them in change. Does any other coin shop do this?

Gatewest in Winnipeg usually gives nice BU change. 1967 cents and nickels are what stand out, more recent ones are always really nice examples, not ugly beat up things, so you can tell they are doing it on purpose. It is a nice touch. I've never received folding money less than a five.

I miss shopping in person at JM (sniff). It was always a first stop when you had something specific in mind.

The local coin shop I go to also has nice older AU and BU cents and quarters that get mixed into the till. It's kind of neat to see what you end up with in change.
