<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 4472958, member: 15588&quot;]In my part of the world, I really only ever see US and Canadian coinage in change. If I had a nickel for every time I mistook a Canadian quarter for a US silver quarter, I could probably buy a few actual silver quarters. The same goes for dimes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Canadian Cents also used to be extremely common, even after Canada stopped squashing them out. I almost always receive US coins in change when traveling in Canada as well. It&#039;s ultimately a one-sided relationship, because many Canadian businesses accept US money, but very few, if any, US businesses accept Canadian money.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last time I came across a non-US or non-Canadian coin in change, maybe 4 - 5 years ago, was when I saw a British 5 Pence coin sitting on a register in a cafe that I used to eat in. I pointed it out to the cashier and said &quot;ah! a coin from Britain! How cool!&quot; She said &quot;take it!&quot; So I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short, I don&#039;t often see non-US money in change, excepting Canada. It&#039;s extremely rare.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
