why won’t us. banks accept canadian $2 dollar coin?

i work as a server in america at an applebees restaurant, and yesterday, a customer gave me a Canadian coin (aka toonie) as gratuity. i went to my bank (wachovia) and tried to deposit it, but the teller flatly refused to accept it. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screwed over too, because
that’s all i got for a gratuity. any suggestions plz?
