Why? Just use an ATM card in Canada and then get change for the bank notes. BTW, are there any pictures of what the proposed $5 Canadian coins might look like? i.e., are they two-parters like the twonie? BTW, I heard an American call the twonie a "dubloon". Is that nickname in use in Canada? -- Please reply to: | "One of the hardest parts of my job is to pciszek at panix dot com | connect Iraq to the War on Terror." Autoreply is disabled | -- G. W.

According to Wikipedia, the minor (less than a loonie) Canadian
coins have steel cores. Are they magnetic? If not, why not? The article does not list chromium as a constituent, which it would have to be if the cores were stainless steel. -- Please reply to: | "One of the hardest parts of my job is to pciszek at panix dot com | connect Iraq to the War on Terror."

The article does not list chromium as a constituent, which it would have to be if the cores were stainless steel. Yes, they are magnetic. Most recent cents are magnetic, but there have been some after the change which appear to be plated zinc. There have been some cupronickel 5-cent pieces as recently as 2006. I think it is a fairly low cost grade of steel which is plated with either copper or nickel depending on the denomination. Peter. -- |
