[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 480243, member: 4791"]Ahhh, this is true. Here is a great example that happened to me last weekend at a local bank. I took in a box of change to dump in the coin machine. (free to those that have an account, I do/did) In the reject slot there was about 20 cents, a couple of nickels and a few dimes rejected. All Canadian.
