Same thing about Canadian for me in the same timeframe except I was further south in Ga.!

I just got back into this thread to read some of the more recent posts since I initially added mine a few months ago. I actually just updated & expanded that response.
It's interesting to see how many people got the Canadian bug by living close enough to or having similar contact with those just to our north. I actually first was drawn to Canadian coinage by getting a few pieces in change or bank rolls as a kid - -
and that was while living just outside of Philly! Still close enough to Canada, I guess............
In any event, if anyone posting here still keeps up with or has access to recent (meaning 2018 thru 2021) Canadian circulating (regular & commemorative) coins (nickels thru Twonies) and wouldn't mind trading/selling some we might need, I'd love to hear from you! Just looking for clean change (fresh from rolls vs heavily-circulated) - - nothing to slab or anything like that. Just trying to keep current. Similarly, if anyone's looking for some relatively recent Canadian, or older, more circulated cents, nickels, & a smattering of others from the 1920's/30's & up, let me know, in case I can help out. I even have some U.S. extras available from roughly the same timeframe. (No silver, unfortunately, as everything we've collected there has been sold/traded & plowed back into filling holes). I'd like nothing more than to develop new Canadian trading partners.
Personally, I think Canadian cents widely circulated throughout the US back then. I can't tell you how many I found during my roll searching days. I would more believe they came from people who visited Canada, brought them back here and just spent them here.

Since 1964, not buying much these days as not much I want shows up.
