| Do you prefer canadian cause you can melt it? US cause you can spend it? US because of the exchange rate? Canadian because of the older heavier coins? |

| Umm... I'll take the Canada! It would take me forever to amass that much by hand sorting, and I am assuming the poll puts you in the position of "which would you rather have if someone is holding these four bags and you can only have one" versus "which would you rather have if you have to sort them all out to get them." |

I suppose we could, but it's illegal to take them out of the US in any sizeable quantity. Why is everyone so excited about melting? |

As with silver, I imagine the normal transition at some point will be to melt the coppers down. IMHO most of the silver coinage that was traded in $1,000.00 FV bags has been melted down by now. I think there would (actually I know) be a better, higher paying market for coins that can legally be melted, than those that can not. The thing to do may be trade U.S. for Canadian cents, as the law allows. |

Money and Other Monetary Instruments
(08/21/2009)You may bring into or take out of the country, including by mail, as much money as you wish. However, if it is more than $10,000, you will need to report it to CBP. Ask the CBP officer for the Currency Reporting Form (FinCen 105). The penalties for non-compliance can be severe.
“Money” means monetary instruments and includes U.S. or foreign coins currently in circulation, currency, travelers’ checks in any form, money orders, and negotiable instruments or investment securities in bearer form.
