CoinCanuck New Member Canada 44 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 5:37 pm Live in Manitoba and got two of the US president dollars in my change (Grant and Taylor) and didn't know what they were at first. Thought they were arcade tokens. The artwork is great but the shape and size is surprising. Thought they would be bigger. Into my foreign collection they go. CoinCanuck.

coinsearcher83 Pillar of the Community United States 1358 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 08:21 am Guess we just found a place for the unwanted dollars! jk Aren't the coins comparable in size and color to the Loonie? Occasionally they are found down here in rolls.. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCanuck New Member Canada 44 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 09:14 am Hi Coinsearcher83 The loonie is very close in color (nickel and bronze) to the new US dollar but the average loonie is 11 sided, weighs 7 grams and is between 26.50 and 26.72 mm across. Hope this helps! CoinCanuck Happy Hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 5:55 pm I've found 2 Loonies in customer-wrapped $1 coin rolls. The bank wouldn't take them back. :-p No matter now though. I'm starting a Canadian coin collection. :-) Report this Post to the Staff
