Wheat Cent In Change!

Really? Wow! The only times I get Wheats are from roll hunting.

And tell me, is it true that in Windsor the USD and CAD are used 1:1?

I got a 1958 Canadian Cent in my change earlier this year.
The young Queen Elizabeth on the obverse really stands out...

I'm running into a lot of Canadian Cents in my change nowadays, until the last year or so you'd almost never see Canadian Cents in circulation in Denver.

I'm even getting Canadian 5¢ and 10¢ coins, and a CoinStar repairman gave me a 1987 $1 Loonie that got stuck in the machine!

A fair number of cashiers like Texas collector are observant enough to save something like a 1909 VDB Cent if they receive it in their drawer, which makes receiving a 1909 Cent in your change (as I did on Dec. 13th) even more amazing!

I got a 1954-D VG Wheat cent in change yesterday. There must have been more change jar dumps this month to buy Christmas presents....

Last year I worked part time as a cashier in a restaurant. In a span of 6 months I found:
Lots of wheat cents.
2-1938 Canadian cents.
Lots of silver coins.
A $5 & a $1 Silver Certificate.
A 1939 D & a 1939 S Jefferson nickel.
2 other silver War Nickels.
AND a 1907 Indian cent F in a roll of cents from the bank !
You're darn tootin people don't look at their change (probably don't know about the treasure hunting aspect of it.

I'm not surprised, I've found plenty of older Candian coins in change here, from the early 40's to the 50's.
