ok so the other day i went shopping and found a Canadian quarter in the change they gave me, or at least i think it was a quarter lol. so my question is do people in Canada find American coins when they get their change back??

yes, yes they do, i have a few canadian friends who occasionnaly, once it builds up, we swap our currencies back so the right ones are in the right country..somehow i think through the exchange rate i should be charging them..but thats just the sheister in me.

All the time. We usually treat them at face value but 4 quarters is a dollar and whoo hoo that is worth an extra few cents!
What I hate though is that I have been given Japanese coins that look like a toonie at first glance but are in fact basically worthless in Canada.

YES , all the time! as a matter of fact- just a couple days ago i was shopping and i was short money. i had 20$ american in my wallet and the store let me use the american money. In canada u can use american money. Money is money.
But thats not the same in america...
i went to US. just a month ago and i accidently took an CANADA PENNY!! out instead of an american. the guy at the cash pushed it back and made me get a US penny! LIKE come on!! ITS JUST A PENNY!!!

All the time.
I used to keep a little jar in my desk drawer where I put any US coins I got to use the next time I went to the USA. Of course, now I live in the USA, so my jar is for Canadian coins now.

Yes, lots. I don't even notice them anymore. My b/f saves all the quarters for when he travels to the states.
I also find money from other parts of the world that look smiallar to dimes

Sure do!!
Of course, I live near the border, and all the stores on both sides take the other countries currency, which is not true, say, 75 miles or more north or south of the border.

Well, When I was in Vancouver, I would get random US change back during my trip. I found it funny actually. And in the US we get canadian money like crazy. I save it tho.
