Dollar now worth .94 in Canada

Smittys · October 31, 2007 4:39AM

Knew I should have been buying canadian dollars

LALASD4 · October 31, 2007 4:42AM

I brought some Pesos.

options26 · October 31, 2007 4:58AM

I remember several years ago going to Canada and I was getting almost $2 Canadian to $1 US.

RedneckHB · October 31, 2007 5:06AM

Should be good for the tourism industry. Americans will stay put and the world will visit.

bluelobster · October 31, 2007 5:17AM

Hard to believe it was a $1.50 in 2000...can you say flooding the world with (cheap)dollars

I expect to see a lot of canucks down my way..Eh!

mrearlygold · October 31, 2007 5:18AM

What we need is even larger government and that'll straighten things out.

They already are visiting. Was in NYC last weekend. Heard more German, French, and Italian than English on the streets.

fc · October 31, 2007 5:25AM

i could only laugh when i listened to hillary clinton in the debates.
if she gets elected i see gold at 2000 a few years after she takes
office. :-(

and politics has EVERYTHING to do with this thread.

NYC is always like that. So is Disneyworld.

That is so sad, it is funny. Of course, we used to make fun of Japanese radios and motorcycles even more than Canadian money in the old days.

ziggy29 · October 31, 2007 6:04AM

Definitely not a good time to be buying Darkside coins, especially when you are dealing with sellers from other nations whose currency is rising fast with respect to the dollar.

Overdate · October 31, 2007 6:15AM

I have $20 Canadian from my last visit there several years ago.

Think I'll dig it out and go buy a house!

HonoluluDude · October 31, 2007 6:24AM

I bought a few pure Canadian nickel rolls earlier in the year for about $7/roll, now they are charging $12 usd for those same rolls, even though the price of nickel has dropped since then.

mrpotatoheadd · October 31, 2007 6:30AM

I still have the three 20 euro bills I received from a buyer for a $45 item back when a euro was worth 75 cents US.

Musky1011 · October 31, 2007 6:31AM

almost time for the Amero(north american union)

BBN · October 31, 2007 6:44AM

I recently spent a few bucks on 50,000 dinar. I don't remember how much I spent, but it wasn't a whole lot. Was this a worthwhile investment or is it much like playing scratchoff?

pharmer · October 31, 2007 6:45AM

<< Knew I should have been buying canadian dollars >>

Knew I was right buying all these Canadian dollars wut have tarnish on them

itsnotjustme · October 31, 2007 6:48AM

And a Dollar gets me 69 Euro Cents.....

Just keep voting Republican and you'll get your wish!

pharmer · October 31, 2007 8:52AM

<< What we need is even larger government and that'll straighten things out.

Oh tay! I'm voting democrat so we will have smaller government. And lower taxes.

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 8:56AM

pharmer, that's a fine idea.

Keep dissenting brother!

pharmer · October 31, 2007 8:59AM

Hay, weight a minute. The democrats control both Houses of Congress now! Gosh, this is complicated.

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 9:02AM

yes, it's very complicated, thank goodness we have such a wise and thoughtful man in charge of things

we lucked out on that one!

pharmer · October 31, 2007 9:05AM

I got nothin

If voting could actually enact a change back to a freer country, voting would be declared illegal.

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 9:15AM

I agree with that.

elwood · October 31, 2007 9:27AM

And what does this thread have to do with coin collecting??

Coxe · October 31, 2007 9:32AM

Shhhh....a narc is here to tell on us. (hehe)

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 9:33AM

elwood, relax!

....it has EVERYTHING to do with coin collecting. We're talkin' Big Picture here brother! certainly the way the middle class is gettin' screwed by the White House significantly reduces the disposable income available to a whole generation of would-be coin collectors....

fastrudy · October 31, 2007 9:35AM

Heard more German, French, and Italian than English on the streets.

Hell, that was the norm in the 50's when I grew up there.

Blackhawk · October 31, 2007 9:39AM

I see no sense in trying to spread fear about someone elses future election when the guy in office now has set the US back 50 years...if you were going to fear electing someone, you should have thought about it harder 7 years ago when you put our current president on his throne.

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 9:44AM

Blackhawk, I agree, it's unbelievable that so many voted for this shmuck and then wonder why things are in the toilet.

elwood · October 31, 2007 9:45AM

<< elwood, relax! >>

You relax.

<< ....it has EVERYTHING to do with coin collecting. >>

It has nothing to do with coin collecting.

<< certainly the way the middle class is gettin' screwed by the White House significantly reduces the disposable income available to a whole generation of would-be coin collectors.... >>

Take your political BS somewhere else.

<< We're talkin' Big Picture here brother! >>

P.S. I ain't your brother.

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 9:51AM

elwood,
brother, friend, buddy, did someone wake up on the wrong side of the couch this morning?

...there's a great thing you can do.....DON'T click on this thread anymore! Presto, your problem is solved!

What country are you in because the economy is booming here in the USA?

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 9:59AM

What country are you in because the economy is booming here in the USA?

Yes, and you're smarter than you look, too!

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 10:00AM

dang....gotta go...............

until next time!

goose3 · October 31, 2007 10:02AM

I thought the Dems were going to solve all of the problems in their first 100 days?

originalisbest · October 31, 2007 10:08AM

I think Elwood is smarter than 10 Seattle Slammers put together - not to mention an unknown number of blackhawks. No one's ever been able to count that high, thus - we may never know.

She's done. Her private life is about to be exposed. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

coinkat · October 31, 2007 10:40AM

The pound sterling is up to $2.08... the Canadian Dollar has done quite well. There are alot of World coins that are alot more expensive now...

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 10:49AM

Now that would be one profoundly wise Elwood!

You guys are right, Hillary has a tough time putting two and two together in a debate.....she often gets lost mid sentence.....ummm, wait a second, this all somehow sounds very familiar....weird. I know I'm greatly looking forward to the Bush Library! It will be a fitting tribute to a man that read so little and understood even less.

I love that the ROBpubliCONS had the Senate, the House AND the White House, they couldn't do crap with it (at least not to benefit the middle class and poor), and now they piss and moan about how much better things would be if they were back in power.......

pharmer · October 31, 2007 10:56AM

They do? Who do?

What kind of idiot are you? This is a coin collecting board and no one wants to hear your trash about your stupid political beliefs. We have the strongest economy despite what the dollar trades for so grow up and shut up. I do mean that in the nicest way.

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 11:06AM

I can't dispute that I need to grow up.

And while you're obviously not the brightest bulb in the pack, I do appreciate your passion. And I definitely mean that in the nicest way.

Stupid comeback but not quite as stupid as your posts. So what are you slamming? Beers, shots or maybe bricks against your head?

SeattleSlammer · October 31, 2007 11:14AM

Griv, All three my firend, all three!
You know, you may just be a tad brighter than I thought...?

Dollar now worth .94 in Canada
