There used to be a couple of people on here from Canada, not sure where they went. Though I have heard halves in Canada are just about impossible to get.

I was at rescue training in Vancouver earlier this year. I had a chance to go to one bank. Sorry, no US coins. If you hit enough, you might find some. Maybe even (yikes, shades of dream rolls) some that have been in a vault for years. You just never know. If I lived near the border I just might make a run.

I was more thinking of Canadian coins as I don't think a bank in CAnada will sell you a roll of american coins.

In the banks you visit in Mississauga, do you get only the halfs and old dollar coins the have at the counter or can they order them for you ? The tellers here (Quebec) don't even know about halfs most of the time.

I don't know anything about silver CRHing in Canada but i do know people sort through cents and nickels for the older copper and nickel coins.

I know of one person that did very well sorting nickels. If interested PM me.
