Do you think the banks will take it back (since they gave it to me)? [B]NO![/B] Can I go to the duty free store and exchange it without crossing the border? [B]NO![/B] Will the casinos dowtown change it for me? [B]NO![/B] So frustrating!!!!!!!! I could really use the money to buy some coins! Any ideas aside from getting a passport and crossing the border? My local coin shop will give me half of the face value...geez, thanks. Just ranting, sorry.[/QUOTE]
