For the first time in my 43 yrs, as a born and bread american citizen I went to the US post office and they would not accept a Canadian quarter (when buying stamps). What in the world is with that? I never in my life have ever had any issue using Canadian currency in the US the female behind the desk just looked @ the 2.75 I gave her like it was radioactive and said "I cannot accept this" I just looked @her in amazement. Mind you I go to this particular office @ least 3 to 4 times a month and know the usual attendants by name (not her) the other attendant that I know just kinda shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes but to my suprize an older lady said hear son I''ll trade you that for this one (American). With the condition our country is in and our government employees are turning down buisness and or currency WOW!!! am I missing something here? Any input would be great and thanx for hearing me rant. And one more thing if that happens to me again I'll go postal in my own way when I return I think I'll purchase thre books of stamps w/ pennies.
