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

I used to live in Buffalo,NY,and used to see it all the time. Canadian coins are interchangeable with tolls in Buffalo both sides of the bridge just so you know. I used to save the quarters and have them in my car just to use at the toll booths. There was so many Canadians coming over years ago when they opened the Galleria in Buffalo,that they figured it would save more money to make the money changers accept Canadian coins as American ones. Not a lot of people knew that ,but I tried it once just to see if it worked and it did,and I have done so ever since then.
In Denver,Co you rarely see Canadian money,I received a Canadian Quarter in change the other day,looked at it ,and gave it back to the cashier for an American one. He looked at it like it was the plague also.
Most businesses in Buffalo,NY accept Canadian money and they good at exchange rates off the top of their heads,same goes for Ft.Erie,Ontario,they accept American money at most places,but it is a good idea to exchange your money as soon as you go over the bridge because many places will rip you off with the exchange.
Although the Canadian Ballet’s don’t seem to mind,for those of you not familiar with that term,oh well..I guess you will have to look that one up ..lol
it isn’t accepted around where i live (southern NY) but sometimes it ends up (coins) in our cash registers, and we will occasionally get canadian change back - which sucks because you can’t really use it anywhere
It is accepted in most places here Helena Montana.
Sometimes I will get some in change, but it’s almost impossible to get rid of. (central Illinois)
Nope, not even mexican money. I dont know why but when I would go to Mex they would accept my american money.
I get it back as change but you can’t spend it no place
Not anywhere in the US!!
I’m Canadian and have been to border towns that accept our money at par. I’ve also gone an hours drive south and the only way they’ld take it was for their kids’ show-and-tell.
Yes it is accepted - upstate NY
No, out here in SoCal it’s not accepted at all anymore, but way back in prehistory when I was a kid most stores would take it. I know that when I lived in Michigan a long time back Canadian coinage was common but have no idea if this is still the case.
Canadian currency is not accepted where I live, in Philadelphia PA, but it is floating around and yes, I do collect it. I love the way Canadian currency looks. =)
Only at airports or currency exchanges.
