Got any friends on facebook or anyone you know in Canada period.
About a year ago I asked the head teller of a bank what they did with foreign coins, she said that if the catch it, they will return them to the customer, otherwise they put them in a small box and when the box gets full, they throw them away!!!! All their damaged coins and tokens and stuff go into the same box. So I asked her what they would take for this box.
She didn't give me an answer, so I said what if I give you $10 to put toward the company Christmas party? She said ok. In the box I got several steel cents, a badly scratched up Merc, a war nickel that had the observe ground off, an Indian head cent and lots of foreign coins, several tokens, a couple of stretch pennies, and other junk. There was over $14.00 in Canadian quarters, the Canadian total was just over $20, as there was several dimes, nickels and even a loonie. Euro coins, British coins, were common as well. Plus a handful from other nations.
I also got several dollars worth of US coins that just needed good soak to get the sticky stuff off them.
I guess I'm getting off topic, but if I had a friend up North I would send them a message and see what they say about a trade. You might not get full value, but you might get something for the ones you don't want. Also your local coin dealer might be able to direct you to a customer of theirs that collects different looking coins.
