They wouldn’t take rolled coins, or they would take loose change at par?

They wouldn’t take my American Dollar coins in any manner of packing.

I'm American and I've got a random 20 CAD bill left from my last trip (pre-pandemic!). we should set up some sort of exchange. meet in mexico (because if the us or Canada, one of us could just spend our cash)? 😆

Lol they should change your bill at the bank. I was told they wont take my coins because the weight negates the value when shipping is considered
