On my side of the big International Boundary, discovering one in my pocket turns me into a schemer. I try to pass it off as its American cousin, and get frustrated when vending machines are smarter than I expect them to be and spit the queen's image back out at me. When that happens, then the rest of my day is spent trying to find a cashier who doesn't care enough about his or her job to inspect the coinage I give away ... and who won't stop me from divesting myself of my partial loonies.
When it's all said and done and it's no longer in my possession, then I go take a shower because I feel dirty ... like I committed some Canadian crime and I might have to go hide from a Mountie for a few days. Just sayin' ...
WAIT ... I'M SUPPOSED TO BE CHECKING THEM FOR SILVER FIRST:
