Do Americans accept Canadian money?



    




Darkkrystel
lol if you use the money that looks like a dime on occasion they will take and not realize its not a dime. But I only did that one time unintentionally.

No, and we get really annoyed when a convenience store clerk gives it to us mixed in with our change!

Usually, Americans don't accept currency from foreign countries because it is a pain to go to a currency exchange to change, in your case, Canadian money to American money. Pay with Dollar bills when in America, GO USA!

Throughout most of America, no.

Places that get a lot of canadian tourists do. I know Reno Nevada does. Probably some border areas, maybe Las Vegas.

You will need to take the money to the bank and exchange it for American at the current exchange rate.


u r dumb
They will trade it for American money at the bank .Not all banks though .Experience in travelling .Most Americans would call it monopoly money because their too arogant to realize its only behind by about 4 cents to their dollar ....


Dirty D
No, I do not.

Seem to find it tossed into the poker pot, and have a pretty good idea of where it's coming from. What really gets me is when he tries to pass off Serbian money.

to answer your question the answer is no --- but the closer you get to the border the more than likely you will be able to use the currency .


ivan_c
no but theres a place were you can trade it in for u.s. dollars


laughter_every_day
most people and businesses near the border, or those that get a lot of tourists, will take Canadian money either at face value or with a approximated discount. The further you get from the border, the less likely that is. I have noticed that is also true in Canada. Businesses near the border will take U.S. money but those farther away will not.

probably depends on where u are.

i live in juneau, alaska and i think most of the stores give an exchange rate.

Of course we expect Canadian money. We just trade it into US dollars first. Many banks will trade it into US dollars. You cant go to walmart and expect them to take your Canadian Dollars. Just exchange it at a bank or before you come to the US.

Walmart doesnt know the exchange rate. Things in America are based on US dollar, you cant expect every clerk to have a series 3 license and know the exchange rate. The same as if americans go to france, you pay in francs....

Your money is all good here, just change it to the currency that you intend to buy goods with.

Only by mistake - we get those whatever they are size of quarters with the beaver on the head

depends on if you are just bartering with someone, or at a real store, at a real store, no, but with someone you know and are just exchanging maybe.

We accept dimes and quarters, but not paper money.


Crazybird
I think closer to the border they are probably more lenient but anywhere I worked.....no. Ya...maybe change might slip through but too often and we were expected to pay out of our own pockets for accepting them.


frogjake10
yes only nickels bat do you know frogjake9 could you tell me how to get it back its my old account


olliesiv3
In a business?No they dont.


BrightEyes
yes, but only along the border. once you get much more than 20 miles in, its no good.


Republican man 12
Sorry no
