I'm in the Chicago area and even at coin shows I don't see many Canadian coins. I've asked at stores, restaurants, etc. and get the same thing, NONE. I wonder if Canada is ignoring Illinois.

I am too and the rate is about 3 cents a box, 1.5 nickels per box and 1 dime every 10 boxes. I've found two quarters in change in the last year, but I don't roll hunt those often. I haven't found any in the halves I've been through. I'm not sure where they've all gone though - I used to find them all the time when I was a kid in the 80s. Maybe the proliferation of coin counters in the Chicago area? Anything ferromagnetic gets stripped out by the coin stars and TCF counters. I've found a number of canucks in those if I happen to be around when they have to open them.
