<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 861795, member: 24633&quot;]Here, in South Florida, we get a lot of snowbirds from Canada who stay 3-4 months. I remember when I was bartending in the 80&#039;s, and the Canadian dollar was worth 70%USD. We would always end up with Canadian coins flooding the local economy. Some of the snowbirds would bring hundreds of dollars in change with them rather than lose 30% in a currency exchange. When they would pay cash for purchases, they would &quot;salt&quot; U.S. coins with a few Canadian coins, hoping they wouldn&#039;t be spotted.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At the Billiard Congress of America&#039;s North American Championships in Las Vegas, the 200+ 7&#039; bar tables were provided by Gary Benson. One year he provided the tables for the Canadian Championships just before transporting them to Las Vegas for the BCA event. The slot mechanisms used in Canada would accept both U.S. &amp; Canadian quarters, but Gary&#039;s employees forgot to switch them to the U.S. quarters-only mechanism for the BCA event. The Canadian players were quick to take advantage of it, and during the first four days of the 8-day event, Gary lost $20,000 to currency exchange.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
