Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 18, 2022

Or you could offer it to a numismatist.

You should have seen the looks I got in the drive thru spending my paper Canadian one dollar bills that one time I drove home through Canada.

I don’t know where or how I got these game tokens.

No country accepts them.

Don’t waste your gas money. Put that worthless Kanuck paperweight to good use:

- finally level out that wobbly kitchen table.

- use it to check your tire tread before driving on a rainy day.

- put it in an old sock along with some pebbles as a self defense weapon.

- glue it to the bottom of your shoe and pretend you are a one legged tap dancer.

- give it away to some poor sap trick-or-treating at Halloween.

- hold it in your eye socket and walk around all day acting like Colonel Klink.

If you can’t get rid of it then it must be lucky. Use it for coin tosses.

That Corvette is way too valuable to drive to Canada.

Small things amuse small minds

…Ha!..

…there is American money just as poisonous…

…but I use it anyways…

…dollar coins make great tips…

…two dollar bills are a great discussion starter…

…some people ask if they are real….

…they are…

…and make great gifts…

…pennies, though…

…after next year…

…a thing of the past…

…just like our democracy…

…oopsy…

…went too far and got off topic…

Gum up a vending machine. Mmmmm Starbucks Coffee at the hockey game…Now nobody gets coffee, except the man with a key.

Spoon fishing lure and last week’s motor oil. Wow what a great gift thata make. I don’t care if you gift it out.

Penny loafers on a SundayMorning Church visit. Tip the delivery driver. Use for target practice w/the new rifle.

I probably have one of those around here. Maybe a quarter, too. The vending machines used to have a magnet that would pull them out of the slot path and put them into the reject path. Come to think of it, I’ve got a quarter stuck to a refrigerator magnet on the refrigerator. If I get a stainless steel finish refrigerator, the nickel in the steel will make the quarter fall off. Economic experts say that they Canadian economy will also fall, should that happen.

Stick it in a dime roll and bring to the bank…see if it passes….or just leave it at the tellers window and walk away!

I have a “foreign currency “ file, with different envelopes for each, for when I next travel there. Look at that Canadian dime. Isn’t it a beauty.

…they painted over a Banksy on The Outlaws…

It’s worth 8 cents today, so you should probably have another reason to go to Canada.

I was right. There is a Canadian quarter stuck to the refrigerator, on a little disc magnet. I couldn’t see it, because there is a Flying Dog bottle cap over it.

That guy sure looks like a hockey ref. They go to Canada all the time.

I didn’t like them when mullets were popular. Still don’t.

Tollbooth receptacles are the best place to get rid of Canadian coins.

Tim Horton, is that you …?

( brother, can you spare a dime? )

In the ’70s I played music in the street. I hated getting Canadian money.

It will work in Detroit

Hang on to Canadian pennies. They’re extinct. As for the dime, I’ll take it!!!

YUP! At least one of the coins (can’t remember which) has corners on the edges instead of smooth circular edges like in USA. It was meant so that those with bad eyesight could tell how much each coin was worth. In these days, there’s almost nothing you can buy with a coin except maybe bubble gum from a machine.

Road Trip! See Canada on a Dime! Quebec beckons!
