My banks won't take them, and I have accumulated almost a full quart bag of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies.

There may be a place in your area that does foreign exchanges with currency, or at your airport if its an international one. If you have silver ones you could scrap them or sell them on ebay pretty easy. Other than that or selling to someone in a lot there wont be an easy way to get rid of them. |

dern, Thanks for the replies. I do keep the silver ones. I'm surprised at how many of those I find. I'll send them to you mcshilling... I'll send you a Canadian coin for a US coin of same face value. ;)

Get rid of them the same way you got them. Spend them mixed in with your U.S. coins.  |

Dang, mcshilling beat me to it! I've been saving up my Canadian cents to make "grab bags" for ebay now that the Canadian cent has been discontinued and is being pulled from circulation. I would've taken your Canadian cents off your hands. |

McShilling, you sure? I'm pretty sure we have flat rate int'l boxes that go to Canada. *dubious*
(sidenote, how precisely do you say your name? I keep reading it like a new McDonald's sandwich and I'm betting it's totally an abbreviation for something.)

1. Just go to Canada and spend like real money. They will never notice. 2. Take to Mexico and spend there. If asked just say this is the latest commemorative coins we make. 3. Post on ebay as rare, foreign coins from unknown place. And don't forget to say A. I know nothing about coins B. Left to me by my (Mother, Father, Aunt, Uncle) cross out all that does not apply 4. Post on ebay and say UNSEARCHED. 5. Send to me. I'll take them to a flea market and sell as odd and wierd old US coins made with strange name on them. 6. Go to World Coin Forum right here and tell the same story. Mention my name. This will not help at all but could make you feel important. 7. Get rolls of coins from banks, open all, rewrap adding a few of those Canadian ones per roll. Take back to bank. |

 I like them all but I'd go with #7 as probably the safest bet. |

I'm officially dropping my self-nomination and suggesting Bobby. When I was a kid, Canadian coins fascinated me because of the superficial similarities to US coins (size and shape--when I was very small most Canadians were not made of steel yet and the weight wasn't a dead giveaway), but the even more noticeable differences--there was a WOMAN on their coins! And the pennies had funny edges like a stop sign instead of a circle! Who knew? I vote that this is the way to go. |

I know that there is a foreign currency exchange here on Lond Island that takes CAD 1 & 2 coins, as well as EUR 1 & 2 coins and exchanges them for no fee. As for the rest, I was wondering myself. I thought of just putting the lot on ebay and selling them for 50-60% of face. I get most of mine from the magnets at the coin machine in my bank, so they are free. Any other serious thoughts would be appreciated. |
