Canadian Silver Quarters (In the U.S.)

[JJtheRollHunter]

Just curious if any of you have found silver Canadian quarters out in circulation. I know some people find dimes, but I've never heard of a quarter being found.

Thanks to all who post,
JJ

Re: Canadian Silver Quarters

I've found three in michigan...they don't get pulled out as fast because people don't realize that they could be silver....

A great teller offered me one for free. That's the only one I got

Pulled three over the years, none recently even though I'm less than 50 miles from the border.

I live in SoCA, about the furthest you can get from Canada, I get canadian coins in change all the time. But i have a small magnet to test the older ones, so far it always sticks.
But in yard sales I get a few silver ones.

unlike american coins which cut out the silver in 64 ( except for thr halves 65 to 70 --40%)--the 80% silver candains lasted thru out mid 67 --however in late 67 and 68 --50% was the new stardard until the silver was removed from their coinage --so 1968 and before candian coinage has silver in it.
