DH is going through the last small box from FIL's house. Among the things in there is a ziplock bag full of Canadian coins.
The last time I was in Canada (1998), I seem to remember the local bank saying they could exchange the bills but not the coins. I have no idea if this is still true - or if local banks can even exchange any of it still. (I don't know if other banks do/have done this around the country, but since I'm in Washington state it makes sense - at least back in the days before 9/11 when travel to Canada was as simple as drive through the border...)
So, any idea what I can do with these coins?

(Airport is a good thought too - although our airport might be to small to have any exchange...it might require an international airport which we don't have...)
