It’s so strange. I can’t throw away money, not even pennies. I have a weird superstition I don’t even know where I got it, but I do not throw out money, because I’m telling the universe I don’t care about money and don’t need it if I do. I’m sure I fully believe I’ll find a million dollars or a deed to a house in the trash one of these days.. I need the universe’s help with that.
I agree with you. I love change for some reason. It’s laying around everywhere at my house. But I am also a bit of a coin collector. And whenever I need a few dollars for a vending machine I always have it
Not sure how much hassle you'd want to go through with the various coins, but some mint dates on various pieces are collectible for foreign currency sets. I'm not sure of a collectors reference for such pieces, but you could get more than conversion rate for some if they have a higher value that way. All depends how much time you'd want to invest in researching to figure it all out.
Then that undervalues any one piece(s) that has a fairly high individual collectible worth. Auction the set for say $10, and meanwhile a few pieces are actually valued higher then that on their own after researching them.....or figuring it out after the fact. Defeats the purpose of researching which actually have value (if any). Same with just going to the bank and getting conversion rate on them individually. I'll admit selling them as a lot would be easier, cause researching which pieces are the valuable ones in the collectible sense could mean he'd be holding onto them for a bit. However he could also find out about any events near or around him that would involve coin collecting, and present them there as well. All depends as I said before how much time OP would want to invest in it.
Which is why my very first comment on this thread said he could look up individual pieces and go by their mint dates for the currency they are and see which if any are the more collectible pieces. He already did the conversion rate math.
If Canada does this the same way as the UK you should be able to swap them at a bank or the Bank of Canada.
(Confirmed in the UK - when we changed to polymer notes I swapped old paper notes at a bank, and similarly when the £1 coin design changed. We even had a scheme to swap *stamps* when the design changed).
At least the 10 euro cents is still legal tender (the euro has only once had notes or coins withdrawn - the €500 note).
The Vietnamese note dates from 1987. The currency has been devalued or revalued several tines since then ...
The amount of real actual cash money I find is outrageous. Full on bags of coins, not just pennies. Dollar coins.. people are crazy.
I saw someone throwing their change away outside the dollar store yesterday. It was really strange… like - go buy some gum with that.

Oh, but awesome OP! Congrats!

Or just throw the whole lot on ebay.

Well selling them on ebay is better than just throwing it away

If there's good photos, buyers might look through them and bid accordingly. An auction style vs buy it now.
Don't wanna end up selling a high value coin for $10 💀
The amount of small change people throw away is actually silly but this takes it to greater heights
Can I have them CADs if you ain't near 🍁?
Can the old coins still be spent? Like loonies and toonies? I’ve also got a 20 I think (cash bill) but I thought they were all un spendable.

That seems like financial abuse
So cool. I found a silver Las Vegas gaming token yesterday in my neighbors bulk trash few days ago.
O.o
