Transporting Canadian coins out of Canada
I live in the US and my son who has autism like to collect coins he has a Canadian set started. I asked a friend if he could buy me some rolls of coins the next time he is a Canada and bring them back. He is worry that it might be not lawful to do so as it is unlawful to take more than $5 US dollars of US 1 cent and 5 cent out. See -- http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=press_release&ID=724. The fines on the US side can be stiff " of not more than $10,000, or imprisonment of not more than five years, or both, against a person who knowingly violates the regulations. In addition, by law, any coins exported, melted, or treated in violation of the regulation shall be forfeited to the United States Government".
So is it the same way taking coins out of Canada.

Thanks
Joe Henry

I will post when I hear back!

As long as you declare its $10,000 there are no laws against it. You might get tied up at the border for alittle bit because its unusal but they can't really do anything to you.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) appreciates your interest in ensuring that you meet the Cross Border Currency Reporting requirements upon exiting Canada. As you may be aware, the CBSA is responsible for the administration and enforcement of Part II of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act. Part II requires the reporting of currency or monetary instruments in the actual possession of a person arriving in or departing from Canada. Each traveller is responsible for his or her own declaration.

There are no restrictions on the amount of currency or monetary instruments that you can bring into or take out of Canada, nor is it illegal to do so. However, you have to report to the CBSA amounts equal to or greater than CAN$10,000 or its equivalent in foreign currency. If you require further information on the CBSA’s Cross Border Currency Reporting Program, please visit our Web site at
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/security-sec ... u-eng.html

For information regarding the importation of coins into the United States, we suggest that you contact U.S. Customs and Border Protection for assistance with this matter at http://www.cbp.gov ,
or 1-703-526-4200.

We trust that this information is useful to you. Thank you for contacting the Canada Border Services Agency.

Yeah, I'm a crazy liberal. However that I realize that is NOT the focus of this forum and I'll (mostly) keep my commie, pink-o, radical, left-wing craziness to my self. I'm still a copper reclamation specialist, just like you guys. I just want to make a profit off this thing while I can like any red blooded capitalist, liberal or otherwise.
