<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2686758, member: 34882"]They just circulate freely from the quarter down to even still the Canadian cent. It's really those sneaky Canadians abusing the exchange rate paying less for their goods than they should. Even cent, nickel, dime and quarter rolls from banks will have intermixed Canadian coinage. I guess it's the price we pay for being hospitable to our neighbors. Although strangely enough no where except the very border towns will ever except Canadian bills and they factor the rate correctly and often add a surcharge for the convenience of converting the bills either way. But really most of us hate getting Canadian coinage in change as they don't work in vending machines. I think merchants would round but our meals and hospitality tax makes that a non starter as merchants aren't going to start eating the tax rate as well if they round.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
