Ugh. My kids each have a postal money bank like the one you have. They put whatever they can get from me in there! Pennies are my enemy in my change purse. Ugh.

Not so many nickels and dimes, though. The further north you go, the more you see. I see even more up in Maine, where they cater to Canadian tourists. The B&B where we stay is bi-lingual, and the speed limits in touristy towns are posted in both miles and kilometers. However, when I lived down in Washington DC, I hardly ever saw any Canadian coins. I have no idea if they accept Canadian money in Maine...I never tried to use any. I have a good stash of Canadian coins. Some of it I got in change here in the States, and still more left over from when we went to Nova Scotia. A lot of stores here won't even take them...the only reason we get them is sometimes people aren't paying attention. We can't even use them in American vending machines, as they are lighter than ours! So I am just saving them for the next time we come to Canada! We definitely want to go back to Halifax, but I have also always wanted to visit Montreal. Maybe someday! :wave: Yes, I do see a fair amount of Canadian pennies in change here…I also have a good amount of quarters, too. Not so many nickels and dimes, though.

I don't even notice, unless a vending machine won't take a coin, and then I realize it's Canadian... whoops! And wouldn't you know it, that's my last quarter. LOL. I worked at an amusement park in Ohio, and we got a lot of visitors from farther south, especially Virginia. I gave someone a handful of change once, they looked at it, and asked me if I could give them "real money" -- so apparently, they don't see too many Canadian coins in Virginia. So there. That's *my* two cents, hee hee. :) In Michigan, we get a lot of Canadian change. I don’t even notice, unless a vending machine won’t take a coin, and then I realize it’s Canadian… whoops!

I never saw any in Southern California or the Southwest though. They look so much like American pennies that half the time you aren't even aware that you've paid in Candian currency. Hehe.
