In Canada, coins are legal tender but there are limits...  A long time
ago in my Grade XII Economics class, we were told what the limits were.
The values quoted below are approximate and probably wrong, but they
should give you the right idea.

	Pennies - maximum of $ 0.25
	Nickles - maximum of $ 5.00
	Dimes   - maximum of $10.00
	Quarters- maximum of $25.00
	Fifty	- no limit
	Dollars - no limit

Merchants are required to accept the coins to the maximum indicated amount.
You can pay Revenue Canada in silver dollars if you wish.
