Does anyone know if banks right on the border (on the US side, ie. northern MN) would have a higher % of Canadian coins? I know its a random thought, but I've been wondering about this for awhile.

I live in Texas, which is nearly as far from Canada as one can get in the US. I find an average of 2-4 Canadian cents when I CRH $25 boxes of cents but I couldn't tell you if this average is the same or less than those who CHR nearer to the northern border.

When I lived up north I would see Canadian coins in my change all the time. I never CRH then, so I cannot comment on Canadian roll finds.
Here in the south, I may have found five Canadian coins in my change the last ten years. I quit CRH over 15 years ago. However, when I did CRH, the occasional Canadian finds happened, but tended to be few and far between.

I live in Canada but near the border. It is very common to get full rolls of American pennies from the bank (and the employees don't even care if they get those full rolls). However, when I get south for shopping, the stores in US have very strict rules of not accepting any Canadian coins as currency. Anyone that uses Canadian bills at Costco would have to get their change in US coins. |

I think Costco would make sense. Don't they not accept credit cards? or checks? I think Sams Club is that way also. I am less that 3 hrs away in northern Wisconsin, Canadian coins seem to have a "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy.

I live in Canada just north of Toronto, and while I can't speak about the number of Canadian pennies in US rolls, I can say that I average 4-5 US pennies per Canadian roll. This is a higher number than the reverse seems to be below the border, but up here US currency is accepted as well as Canadian, and we tend to see it more or less regularly as we get close to the border.

I live about 4 hr from the border and I get on average 5 Canadian dimes per $250 box. In one box I got 14 silver Canadian dimes but no non-silver Canadian ones which was nice.

The collection I acquired had a lot of Canadian coins, even some quarters. There's nowhere around here to cash them in so they're still in the box with coins from a lot of other far away places.

it is very common for my to find atleast 5 canadian in a box here and I live far from the border...but I have heard others get 10-20 a box....unless you are trying to fill a book like me most people hate getting them....but I would keep everyone as canada no longer makes the penny and are melting a lot down so the value is only going to go up imo

Are all Canadian pennies copper or did they make some zincers?

I set aside all of my canadian coins, and from just less than 2 years of roll hunting I have a $250 dimes box almost full. It is a mix of denominations, but mostly pennies. I kept all silver coins seperate, but everything else just got chucked in the box. Eventually I will go through them.
I usually get anywhere from 1-15 canadian coins per box.
