Does anyone know?

Postby creshka46 » Mon Sep 19, 2011 6:59 pm

Hey all,

I'm thinking about going up to Canada and exchanging all of the Canadian money I've built up for pennies and/or nickels to sort through. I'm in Washington state and I would probably go up to Grand Forks, BC.

I thought I'd check and see if anyone knows what kind of percentages I could expect in that part of the country.

Does anyone know?
Pennies: $4200 - (0) indians - (5)steel - (1) George V Canadian
Nickels: $6500 - (62)war - (23)buf - (1)V nic - (4) key date jeff's
Dimes: $5000 - (24)roos - (2)merc - (2)AgCAN
Halves: $8000 - (7)'64 - (33)40% - (1)walker

30%+ for pennies and about 10% for nickles
"The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent." John Kenneth Galbraith 1975
