Professor Peedston Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 ...can actually tell the difference between American and Canadian money! :confused: I tried using a Canadian quarter and dime today in a soda machine, and it kept spitting them back out, as if it somehow knew that the Canadian money was only worth 3/4 of the American equivalent. :lol: Anyway, I'm sitting here comparing the two coins to the American counterparts, and as far as I can tell, they're the same size and weight. I guess soda machines have more complicated machinery than I thought. This has been the Waste of Time of the Day, brought to you by Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally_ Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I know! I hate it when all you have is an american quarter and you want to get something out of a vending machine but it won't let you...so you have to go beg a quarter off of someone...

Professor Peedston Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Yeah, actually I have a nice pile of change too, which is where I pulled out the Canadian change from in the first place. Probably not 20 bucks worth, but we don't have $2 coins here and $1 coins are exceedingly rare. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityandColour Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Yes... I know that.. When I was at a McDonald's in Canada, they had pop machines there and stuff, and we had to get some Canadian money to get something out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
