I hate Canada

[gray_ghost]

I came to this realization today in the laundromat, when I had about the 100th Canadian quarter rejected by the laundry machine since I first moved up here. Why do they do that?!? Why make a quarter that feels almost identical to an American quarter?

I'm saving them in a mason jar. I don't know what I'm going to do once it's full. Maybe Fed Ex it to their Prime Minister with a note: "Enough is enough. On behalf of the entire country, I apologize for Iraq and Anne Coulter and Wal-Mart and the American Revolution. Now could you please stop making quarters?"

When I was living in Iowa as a kid, we had Minnesota to the north of us acting as a filter for all the Canadian money. Occassionally one would sneak through, and everyone would laugh about it. But now, it seems as though every fourth damn quarter I get in change comes from the great white north!

Strong measures need to be taken.

I wonder if there are Canadians bitching about their American quarters being rejected by their laundry machines? I bet their laundry machines are keyed to accept US currency.

Sneaky bastards.
