<p>[QUOTE="Drago the Wolf, post: 1463496, member: 22476"]Thanks for the info guys. Especially you, Coin Geezer. :hail: Does Canada still make collector Mint sewn bags for people to buy at a premium and spend for fun, if they choose to do so? Oh, and one more good question would be, would a Canadian half fit in the current style vending machine coin mechs? (Like I said, I heard that the Canadian half was about the same size as their $1 coin, but even if reducing our halves to that, to fit them in vending machines, I think it would be the whole Susan B. Anthony dollar coin issue all over again. :dead-horse: ) Canada's $2 coin is about the same size as a U.S. half, I believe, which is why, I don't see why the same machine manufacturer for the U.S. and Canadian vending machines, can take Canadian $2 coins, yet they can not be made to accept U.S. halves. (I wonder if any Canadian vending machines take Canadian halves :rollling: )</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and Coin Geezer, do you know if you can you possibly find or obtain Canadian halves from Canadian casinos? I have always thought to ask, because I have never actally held one, and wanted to put a few away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
