Hmm. I don't know that most banks deal with foreign exchange when it's in coin; you might have to call around a bit.
It'll be worth US$1.69 for each toonie, according to

She probably thought it'd be fun for you, but a tip wasn't, obviously, the best place to drop a souvenir. Or that was all she had left. Or she just had no clue. Hmm.
Easiest thing to do would probably be to hang on to it until you meet a Canadian or know somebody who's going north; I think that's the fate of most foreign coinage floating around...

Yes. It's $2 Canadian. You can change that at any bank.
