denny7000 Pillar of the Community Canada 1018 Posts	Posted 10/17/2023 09:22 am After you have collected hundreds of pounds of these coins, what will you do with them? I also pay cash for most things to search change but I only hang onto the very best condition older coins, the rest back to the bank. Report this Post to the Staff

Feels real good. "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa" In memory of those members who left us too soon...

Cdncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 999 Posts	Posted 10/18/2023 11:30 am I have done this while role hunting. I have a few of most dates since 1968. 1970 is a tough one. I also have some empty albums. Hopefully some kids will enjoy filling these albums in the future. Report this Post to the Staff
cedargrove Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 11/10/2023 8:16 pm Yup. I put them aside. Have around 3-5 kg of 5, 10, and 25 cents. No plans for them at this time, but I just can't release them back into circulation. Maybe my grandkids will sort through them one day, but that's many years away. Report this Post to the Staff
