Hillbilly Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 It may be more if a problem for me because I'm closer to Canada than a lot of you. It's probably even more so the farther north you get. Banks won't touch Canadian coin at all. Some will convert paper bills but no loose change. I am getting a lot. My current solution is to put in a large competitor's machine who is vending 27mm BB for .25. So at least I am doubling my money when I vend for .50. Any of you have a good solution for this problem?

Lol! That's not a bad idea. I keep telling my wife we're going to sabre them all and then take a trip up there and give them all back! Let them pay for our trip.Although, I don't get that many, so it will take a decade or more! Lol Do you sell 27mm for .50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F J Vending Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Believe it or not I get a few in Texas. I probably have about 75-100 I have collected over the last year. I typically use them to see how many pieces of candy a competitor is vending. The rest I just keep for that future trip to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 When I was a kid I used to roll them up with US quarters & spend them just the same. I suppose that would be wrong & unprofessional to do now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepherdsflock Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I get a handful of them every month, along with foreign coins from all kinds of places. I've seen some pretty unusual coins come out of my machines, and it always amazes me that all the coins from various countries are similar enough in size to work in the same coin mechanism.

BeaverVending Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 We make a 25 cent coin mechanism and a 50 cent coin mechanism that are designed specifically to reject Canadian quarters while accepting American quarters. If anyone is interested in information about these mechanisms, please give us a call at 1-800-265-6772, or send us an email at sales@beavervending.com.

Grazing Hippo Vending Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I get quite a few of them up here in NY. I find silver ones fairly often. Everyone knows which U.S. ones are silver but most people dont think about Canadian silver quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a gallon sized ziplock bag full of foreign coins right now that are mostly Canadian or Mexican. The Pesos could probably fetch more money as fishing weights than currency though.

Hillbilly Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 I've seen some of the larger vendor's in my area have a display of Worldwide Coins or something similar. 2" caps with coins in them.

havending Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 That guy is out of Ohio I think. I have not talked to him in a long time but I think his son may run the company now as he is up there in age. He's operates in most of the county and puts months between stop cycles maxing out revenue. He's a hell of a nice guy and loves to talk about how he built it up.

It sounds like a guy I know of. Ran in to him one time and he talked my head off. Said the owner was retired living down south somewhere. He has worked for him for 28 years. 5000 plus locations set up into 3 different routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mike Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I didn't read the whole thread so sorry if I am repeating. Do a Google search. There are coin buyers you can ship them to. I looked this up last week. The quote was .62 on the dollar. Better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
