WOW! Funny, its been years since I was able to get to a bank up there. But all the time growing up in the 70s, when able to I would get across the border and ask for dollar coins and halves. There were many times I came back with nothing. They were very hard to acquire.
I remember one time while on a trip to Nova Scotia we stopped at a bank and the teller had no idea Canada ever made halves!

Hopefully it is a good sign. And a nice coin too! Unsure what purity.

So, I guess there was some miscommunication. They don't have them all here, kinda a let down. He is going to get them all sent from the other branches so more likely there is no silver. I have to wait and see

ya, when I heard the 1,000$ number any bank would have sent them back in, for credit..i know my bank is a thousand dollars between coin and bills, and they send them away.
>But I have my fingers crossed for you..

The BMO I worked for when they switched from bills to loonies had a couple thousand in unc bundles and they were still there when I left two years later. It's a hassle to send them back with the paper work, so it often only happens after an examiner has been by. So, while silver is a long shot, there's still hope for some nice nickel dollars. |

The Manager was actually very apologetic, said what he meant to tell me was that in their internal system, it showed that there was about $1000 at multiple branches.
he said if I wanted them all, he could have them delivered to the branch in a few days, no issues. I asked him about pennies as well, and he said no problem, I will get them to transfer them as well.
so I am not sure exactly what I will see, be it a pallet full of pennies, or a few boxes, but I am sure in fro a score.

Good luck.
Is it hard to get pennies in Canada now? Or are the banks getting rid of them quickly?
