Not sure if this has been answered already somewhere but what should I do with all the Canadian coins I have accumulated through the years? I don't plan on going there any time soon. Slip it to the people and McD's little by little?

    Depending on where you live in PA it shouldn't be too difficult to slip a Canadian coin in when paying for something - in most border states Canadian coins are accepted and do circulate to some extent.

    Otherwise I'm sure some of the board members here that live closer to the border will help you with them.

    Here in Michigan, Canadian coins up to 25 cents circulate along with US coins.
    Just spend them.

    Here, on the NY-ON border, in NY, you can't pass anything but a 1c in a transaction. A lot of places will accept Canadian money but not at par.

    While perhaps a minor offense, you have been encouraged by some here to break the law.

    That's not a good habit and could lead to legal problems for this site, akin to suggesting that a member print their own money.

    Remember that passing Canadian money in the U.S is a federal offense. ; )

    I have collected U.S coins for many years, and then Civil War Tokens, but am now actively building a collection of 18th Century Conder Tokens, the coins that made the Industrial Revolution a whopping success. : )

    << <i>... what should I do with all the Canadian coins I have accumulated through the years? ... >>



    I have the same question about all those Canadian coins that I used to collect before I got "serious" about numismatics. I've got a bunch of proof sets, specimen sets, proof dollars, proof loonies, silver toonies, etc. that nobody wants, including me. I paid good money for all that stuff and now all I want is for them to go away because I have zero interest in them.

    Any suggestions? Ebay is too much work for so little gain.
