Really? Then that's awesome! Where in Canada do you go? I'm from Vancouver and no offense to anybody but there are so many foreigners that don't know our money history. I have tried to spend old money like the $2 bills but they just hand them right back and tell me they only accept Canadian although it is...but yes I guess you could take them to the bank, but the people at my bank are just as dumb as the cashiers. But I'm glad you've had luck!
Sorry to burst your bubble but the only canadian money you will be able to use is the $5 bill you have. And even then 90% of stores will refuse it. Too many foreigners live here and don't know about our older money and will not take it :(
@trikdoutcobalt I realize that. Most banks will take them though, and I've had luck spending them at places where the person just wants to collect it, and ends up taking it too.
one thing about the old twenties theyre not that rare at all.... im a bank teller and i find tons of the small face bills i usually pull out like 200-300 in small faced bills every pay period... this week i gotta a pretty nice 1928 $100
@ihateelmoful I wouldn't say valuable, but as it is I want to keep some amount of cash on hand. And if I'm keeping cash, I might as well keep the most interesting bills I can find in my change.
@LuckyGuu I was only going to my parents' home in Pittsburgh. But I like looking through change so much that when I go to self-checkout at Walmart, I always try to pay something like $9.99 over so I can maximize the number of coins and notes I get back just to go through them.
@FortNikitaBullion Thanks for getting back to me (6 months later, ha! ha!) Say, I have an idea my will love. If you live in a big city with street entertainers, you can offer to buy up their loose change and you can examine it later at home. You may get some rare coins that way. *These dudes will gladly get rid of pockets full of change, right?! Also you could get some foreign coins that way.
@LuckyGuu I have thought about that. Especially when I see people putting coins into CoinStar, I would love to buy them at full face value! The problem is that I'd have to count them and nobody is going to sit there and watch me count (the whole point of CoinStar), and nobody will trust me to bring the coins home and then mail them a check. Do you have any way to make this work? I'd definitely be very happy to learn!
@FortNikitaBullion Do you have TD bank where you are? If so, then ask to speak to the manager and explain you hobby and that you are willing to buy bays of coins. Then later after you go through them take them to another TD bank, which has a coin counting machine in their "lobby area" and run them through their machine for paper money. If this fails, then perhaps an armored car company will sell you a $50-$100 bag of coins
Thanks for your answers about being cheap and what that means to you and the foods you like! I'd be interested to see a video tour of your neighborhood with comments and or Rochester in general, if you ever have free time for that. Or take us food shopping or currency buying. Is Rochester downtown a nice place for walking or bicycling? Thanks in advance.
You are a young guy in your early 20's, how did you manage to save up $10k worth of copper pennies? What kind of a job do you have? When I was in my 20's back in the 70's and always had $2K or $3K in the bank at all times, and that was a lot of money back then. My first brand new car only cost $2200 in 1972. I am impressed that you have managed to save up so much at such a young age.Keep it up and you will probably be rich when you are in your mid 50's like I am now. I enjoy your videos.
@Bigoldjeff1956 It's very easy. I pay myself like it's a bill --- it's not an option to invest some money every month. I pretend that $500 of my monthly pay is committed to this "bill". But it's also easy for me because I enjoy collecting coins and watching my pile grow. Not many people can say they enjoy accumulating money in the bank or stocks in their portfolio.
@FortNikitaBullion I used the same technique to build up my retirement savings. It works really well, it seems that most people I know don't have enough self control to do it over an extended period of time. They all wanted newer cars, Houses, and lavish vacations first, then there is little or no money left to save or invest. Of all of my friends, I always made the least amount of money, but I always had the most money in the bank. I guess it just a matter of your priorities.
@LuckyGuu I can't say it's much different. It's kind of dishonest, but more recently while going there, I find myself stretching my money by spending an occasional US quarter, as the exchange rates at banks and credit cards is getting pretty ridiculous, and they've jacked up fees too!
Another thing I should mention that helps, is to closely watch what you spend on food. I think it is easy to overspend on food because too many people think it is an essential expense, but there is nothing essential about having fast food, junk food, steak, or other "luxury" foods. The same goes for a lot of essential expenses such as transportation. You don't need to drive when there are busses, bikes, you can carpool, etc etc. These are essential expenses but the money spent is not essential.
@LuckyGuu I don't know about minimalist. I ride bikes a lot. And of course I enjoy my PhD work.
I don't "save money" on food per say, but I do try to get the most out of my money, in terms of healthy food. Case in point: I'll gladly pay $20/pound for wild-caught tuna (I can eat it raw), but I'll find 50 cents/pound bananas too expensive, because it's mostly empty calories. To me, cheap means worth the money, not being cheap.
YOU SHOULD USE YOUR COLLECTION FOR WALLPAPER-THAT'S ALL THAT FIAT MONEY IS GOOD FOR-YOU SHOULD NO BETTER THAN THAT-STICK WITH YOUR COPPER & SILVER HOARD & TUNA FISH COLLECTION !! !! :-)
I wish we would switch to dollar and 2 dollar coins here too. i metal detect and I would love to find $1 and $2 coins all the time. You have a nice collection and I enjoy your videos.
its a total nusiance to have coins instead of notes. they are heavy and they end up getting lost. i much rather have notes so its easy to put in the wallet.
i'm looking to get a metal detecter. any advice for a beginner? i hope to find gold nuggets... i don't know how realistic that is but is there a special detector i have to use or will any metal detector work?
@orangedac If you just want to hunt parks or beaches I would get something like a Garrett Ace 250 to start out with, but if you are going to search for gold nuggets they make detectors just for that. Check out Kellyco. They are an online metal detector store. If they aint got it you dont need it. They have a section in there for gold nugget detectors. Check their site out you can learn a ot just by looking.
hey im a starter collector and wondering if theres any website to get world banknotes and foreign currency?
thanks.
