Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 10/31/2010 12:06 am Yes, and as mentioned in other threads, US coins in change or rolls is par for the course for us here in Canada and close to the borders as most communities are concentrated near the borders, as it just gets handled and included with our Canadian change (also automatically just rolled in with banks coin rolls too). Mentioning US finds in Canadian change back would then be pretty natural to mention. I can also see mentioning Canadian coins found in US or other Country's change in this thread too. Canadians found in change there, fits here too Report this Post to the Staff

1cent Pillar of the Community Canada 1051 Posts	Posted 10/31/2010 11:25 pm Quote: From an intrinsic metal stand point the Canadian method of coinage makes the coins worthless. That and I abhor the painted,(Santa Claus!?) gimmicky coins with crap, crystal, rubies whatever, on them. The Canadian mint is giving the franklin mint & it's brethren a run for their money. It would be a bad mistake for the US mint to follow down this path . It is exactly what killed stamp collecting. Unfortunately, every word of it true. Diluting the mint product by massive over minting, diluting intrinsic value through use of the cheapest possible materials. Why is a steel dime worth more than a steel cent, really? In times of inherent intrinsic value, the dime was smaller than the cent or nickel because it was silver. They have taken the "value" of money, and replaced it with coins that are all equally worthless, but retain (more or less) their original diameter for the sake of nostalgia.
