At the end of the month i take all my coins to be counted and usually have a few dollars worth of canadien coins that are worthless in vending machines, I understand that canadien vending machines take U.S. coins with no problem, and they are worth more in an exchange rate, should one country make their coins a differnt size so we could tell instantly, or is this just a worthless cause and I should live to canada and laugh at people like me?

If you get change back, check your change before you leave the store. Tell the cashier it's a foreign coin and they are obligated to give you the correct currency. Your major problems is at the vending machines especially when using one at the Post Office . Last week I went in to purchased 20 1-cents stamps. I put in a dollar bill and received 80 cents in nickels and one of them turn out to be a Canadian nickel. On the other hand I received some changes back and the person mistaken a Susan B. Anthony( the newer version )as a quarter. So it was a bonus for me. Just be a little bit more diligent when you get your change back, and you'll be quite alright!

Live and laugh, I work retail and I understand how it feels. Somebody pays with a canadian quarter and it's like ok now you just paid like 6.25 for an item that was 6.50. I hate canadian money although now'a'days the rate that the US money is changing it's looks we will never know for sure unless we look at it closely. I hate money.

Take a look at your change, and if the cashier hands you Canadian coins, have them take them back and give you US coins.
If they object, point out that the Canadian coins are not worth as much as US money.

Spend a minute and look at them.
If enough people do it and slow down the lines, stores will not accept them.

Look at your change before you leave the store and ask them to exchange it. Simple, hey?
