canadian coin question

[Metalmole]

Im waiting for my halves to come in next week so I decided to go through nickels for books and dimes for silver. got skunked on dimes but i keep finding lots of canadian coins does anyone keep them separate? just curious.


they get anoying cause the new dimes look like silver rosies at a glance.

thanks

yup...theyre a pain...i throw them in a jar and they just stay there...my banks counter eats them, so id rather have the coin, instead of putting it thru the counter and losing it...hope this helps! keep it up and hh!

With the US Dollar in the trash I save them for when I go back there for a visit

Agreed.. I used to throw Canadian coated steel cents back in the rolls to dump.. but now I keep them too.

I keep all foreign coins seperate, got so many i give them out when friends travel. I am keeping the canadian for a trip to niagra falls with the family paid for by canadian currency. I get most of my canadian by doing a finger sweep of the magnets on some coin machines.

Do not forget.. all the Canuck coins, even the loonies and twoonies are able to be picked up by a magnet... works great when I toss a magnet into the water at a wharf or pier. You can find very impressive amounts of money that way

Here is an example of one afternoon with a magnet

There was a little scooping done as well..... but almost all of the coins are found with a magnet

I keep them and sell them to a coin exchange in Philly for about 75% of face value.
