Canadian quarters in US

[Zal]

Hey does anyone have an issue with Canadian quarters in their changers and self serve bays? I have one guy that claims he got them and they wont be counted for time in the self serves but they make there way back to the changer apparently. Just looking for ideas since we weigh our coins we don’t find them.

Tell your customer you are ahead of the curve since Canada will be a 51st state soon.
All kidding aside, you must be using a mechanical accepter (?) because our IDX 850s and MicoCoins have never taken a Canadian quarter...ever.

I live 150 miles from the Canadian border so we see a few Canadian coins every now and then. None of our Slugbuster II coin acceptors will accept them, they are rejected. What kind of coin acceptors is your guy using?

Haven't seen one in years. I guess all my mechas reject them. Have seen a few from central america laying around the lot.

We used to see a few in our mechanical coin machines since we are only about 200 miles from Canada. Now I find them laying on the ground here and there. Probably because our coin acceptors reject them all now.

I live 40 miles from border,never see cdn quarters as I use an Idx accepter. Car wash is attended and not asked to exchange to us coins either. A strong magnet will work weeding them out.

This is one reason I like giving change in dollar coin. All the quarters go to the bank!
