    Got a new Canadian quarter in change today. I just figured it was

    another goofy special edition commemorative until I tried to use it in a vending machine for purified water (it was slightly smaller diameter)
    I was a bit pissed I'd probably have to eat it till I bought a $40 shirt for $6.97 (bargain rack) @ Penny's. The woman cashier had thick glasses. I figured this is my chance.

    I sandwiched it between a nickel and dime to cover the price to within 3c using cash.
    She looked at it for a second (I figured I was a goner) but put it into the till.
    Now some other sap will have to go through the same nightmare.

    These GD Canadians come here, dump a quarter or two then go home and brag about it.
    (I'm serious about the above sentence too)

    "Ah those fuckin Americans are fuckin stupid eh? I unloaded some quarters there last time I visited the place and they just took 'em eh?

    Twenty cents.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Here in Buffalo you find Canadian coins all the time. And right now the Canadian dollar is worth virtually the same as an American dollar so I don't see what the big deal is. At the time of this typing, $1.00 Canadian = $1.0066 USD and rising.

    Hopefully...

    I got into this discussion at work the other day too. The friend I was talking to is absolutely terrified of the concept of "The United States of Earth"... I can not for any reason see the innate fear of global unification.
