americans: is canadian currency accepted where you live?

in northern minnesota i used to see canadian coins all the time. loonies and two-nies and quarters were taken and given as change and legal tender. maybe it’s not legal, but it was the norm.

here in the south (elizabeth city, NC), i have only seen one canadian coin in the last six months or so… and it was treated like it had the plague. maybe i could sneak in a canadian penny at the seven-eleven for a joke, but would i be arrested?

is canadian currency ever seen where you live? (city and state, please, if you like) is it accepted as ‘legal’? or are parts of the US close to the canadian border the only places you’ll ever see a loonie?

LOONIE= canadian .00 coin
TWONIE= canadian .00 coin
