<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8068766, member: 100459&quot;]It has been a while since I bought a coin from the Canadian Mint, so my memory is a little fuzzy.&nbsp; I do know that I looked at my credit card charge and found the amount charged included a charge by my credit card for dealing with a Canadian vendor.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t much but the Canadian Mint will show how much the coin is in U.S. Dollar and when I opened my credit card bill, it was more than the amount they said the coin would cost.&nbsp; I contacted the Canadian Mint and I was Charged the U.S. rate as advertised, but the charge was from the U.S. to convert the charge to U.S. amount.</p><p>I know that my entry is a bit rambling, but I have never bought from a foreign country or used my credit card for the purchase.&nbsp; I contacted my credit card company and was told the charge was a normal conversion charge and was in the documentation for the credit card.</p><p>I got the lowdown on how to calculate the conversion rate and was never surprised again.</p><p>What&#039;s wrong with these companies telling us what the total cost will be.&nbsp; I do not like surprises.&nbsp; </p><p>Canada does have some neat coins/medals though.&nbsp; In 2019, the had a one ounce silver coin for the Apollo 11.&nbsp; It is gorgeous.&nbsp; I liked it a little better than the U.S. version.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
