easy to cross, no lines for cars, costs $6-10 roundtrip for depending on what crossing you take.

Customs no problem, if you plan to go frequently, get nexus card. It cost $50 and makes crossing even faster

Nice job. How did you get rid of the rejects? Did you bring them back to US?

It depends, I'm 14 and I went with My cousins without my parents. My parents had to type a message stating that we were all cousins and stuff. We had to show ids and stuff it took like 25 minutes At the booth

No canadian silver this trip, last silver half was made was 1967

Dumped at TD Canadian Trust coin counter. There are at least 4-5 of them in Toronto. This trip I didn't bring any unwanted coin or currency back to US. I opened a saving account with TD and left the money in my account for next trip.

Still missing 1939 KGVI penny and most KGV pennies. I hope to get the 1939 before banks no longer have Canadian pennies.
Glad to have 2012 zinc and steel, I didn't want to pay a dollar each on Ebay!

I have found 30 silver Canadian dimes in the last yr.
27 (1942-1968) of them in the US
and 3 (1949, 1967, 1968) in Canada
