Hey guys,

I'm from America so please pardon my ignorance on this issue. I have several Canadian Quarters from 1973 (not the large bust ) and 1999-2001. They are circulated, but not in terrible condition. Are they worth keeping or are they like Bicentennial and State Quarters here in America where they are different but still only worth face?

Thanks,
LegendInTheMakin

Only if you like the designs, always be worth face value.

I don't recall which coins but if I remember, there was a variety or two in the millennium coins.

yes, check for varieties but generally they are only worth f.v. I can sell the 73 RCMP 25c for a dollar no problem but it's usually not worth the effort.

Definitely worth keeping for your circulation collection.

I also give them to kids!

In my opinion no.

That being said, I am though looking for a couple '99 & '00 quarters to complete carded sets for my son, and my nephew.

I think the main key is that kids might like them.
