Since the 1930's my Dad went every year to Canada to go fishing. Brought back coins every year - so I've got nice AU ones from that time on. Now, I'm getting quite a few Canadian cents while roll searching - I've got a couple albums - so I guess I collect Canadian!

Having grown up in Wisconsin, I saw a lot of Canadian as a kid. I used to have this deal with a bank when I was a kid where I could buy Canadian coins at half face (in US dollars). After picking the dates I wanted, I had a scam going for a while with a soda machine which took Canadian coins. Sodas were 30c. Using Canadian nickels and dimes I'd insert 25c, then make sure to use a Canadian quarter so that I had 50c "credit" on the machine. Of course if you hit the change return you just get back your own money. Instead I'd actually buy the soda and get back 20c in US money. Since the 50c Canadian cost me 25c US to purchase and I got back 20c US in change, the soda actually cost me 5c US to purchase. Since my family was pretty poor while I was growing up, soda was definitely not something that was ever in my home so....what a treat.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the point of this post....I too have an extensive collection of Canadian (as well as everything else...).
My favorite part of Canada coins are the pre-confederation tokens. I found a load of those for a while at 49c each and bought as many as I could.

I have a few in my collection, a couple of good type sets and centennial set with the paper dollar. My oldest is an early ten cent coin.

Having read all the posts to date, I discovered I too, am Canadian coin collector. At firse I thought it was for the CAnadian collectors.
I am looking for albums foor the 1920-date, cents.
My coins are sitting in tubes, and waiting for albums . Since the first 1800 cents, there have been over 1000 more joined the lot. Many have come from other collectors, and a few from the rolls that I sort thru for my US albums. I need ONE cent to finish the first album, (I need a 1923), and three more for the second one. They are '22, '23', and '36. One of the members is currently working on one, 1936, and the others will eventually show.
