Some cheapskate slipped me a Canadian quarter. Now I have to pass it on to some other joe. I hate it when that happens.

But that's like winning the lottery, isn't it? You are owed a Canadian quarter and they give you a US quarter. That's like a 50% return on your investment!

It sure looks that way...though I don't see how it'll help either of us in the long run...though a vacation to america for my 21st birthday would be cheaper now.

I don't like getting american quaters, but it seems veeryone takes em...though vending machines don't seem too.
