<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 423774, member: 12789&quot;]They will take them at face - a percentage fee, and sell them at&nbsp; + 2%, I live within about 100 miles of the border and we have a big outlet mall near here that lots of Canadians come to.&nbsp; Lots of businesses especially in the outlet mall, will take Canadian currency at whatever the value of the Canadian funds are in US$, but will only give US$ in change.&nbsp; Same in Canada when you spend US$ there, you will only ever get Canadian change.&nbsp; That way the businesses benefit from cross border traffic, and believe me, the Canadians help our economy by spending their higher than usual value dollars here.&nbsp; From the looks of the stash these came from, there was approximately 5-6000 dollars in Canadian cash, these were the only old ones though.&nbsp; My guess is that someone came over from Canada, spent a whole load of dosh on goods that are high in Canada but cheaper here, especially since their dollar appreciated and they don&#039;t have to pay 17% PST/GST here and the business that took the cash deposited it in my bank over the weekend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
