If you had about $100 in mixed 40's, 50's, and 60's run of the mill canandian nickles, what would you do with them? My bank wants to charge me 10% for turning them in. Olmanjon
Go to Canada and play the nickel slots, slowly add them back into circulation or wait until the price of nickel goes up and melt them at the scrapyard. Or, start a collection!
well you could always check what you have for a few of the rarer types some are listed for a good chunk of change. like the 1947 with a dot beside the date (not the maple leaf) goes for $40 in VF and jumps up a fair amount each grade higher 1951 in high relief starts at a nice $350 in VF-8 condition so not bad at all 1953 has several varieties 2 of which are worth alot 1953 No shoulder fold leaf close to denticales $750 in vf-20 n 1953 shoulder fold leaf far from denticales 350 in vf 20 and theres more that have a half decent value so I dunno if you checked them that closely for these small variaties but could always be a good weekend/evening project and you might find you nickles are worth more then the $100 bucks have a good time with them
Have looked through all the nickles and didn't find any of the afore mention varieties. My local dealer did not want them and now I am stuck with them. Putting them back into circulation would take years. Any other ideas?
buy the rolls and roll em? stick an american nickle at both ends and then give em to the bank??:thumb:their problem then lol
Well I live in this town about a block from the bank and have lived here for almost 50 years, so everyone knows me and if I walked into the bank with 60 rolls of nickles then they would know who brought them in and my word is worth more than any monetary amount that I would make on the transaction so no thanks.

Here in the states if you don't have an account with the bank you can't cash a check or deal in large quanities of cash unless you have an account with them. Try again-one more time.
oh that sucks :S hmmmm well we have the change rollers in alot of stores here where u dump in ur change and it gives ur a recipt n bring it to the cashier n they give u it in bills or to pay for groceries or w.e could use those?? and maybe if you roll the stuff and tell ur bank they'll take it? might charge u a transaction fee though :S was $5 to change my euros back to cdn but thats not 2 bad i suppse u'd still have $95?
Update on those canadian nickles. Offered them at my monthly coin club meeting at $2 per roll-four guys came up to me afterwards asking about it. Will take them with me next month.
