One could always dump them on Canada. We use loonies at the same size and colour all the time.

We just circulate US nickels, dimes, quarters (but not halves) at par up here anyhow. If you want to continue using cotton for everything in the US, I'm pretty sure we Canadians would adopt the coins.

Interesting. Maybe someone up there should offer to buy a few million of them for 90% of face. That could be a win-win.
