Wow, looks good!

The container looks like a tackle box (fishing supplies).

[iago]

Yep, tackle box!

I spent a long time looking through the hardware store for just the right toolbox, because I figured that's the best bet. Then it occurred to me that a tackle box is exactly the right size.

Comparing your brush sizes to Canadian coin doesn't mean much to most of us...

I was going to tell him to use American. You beat me to it, though.

Although, I did have an odd question; Here (Oregon, and occasionally Michigan, when I'm there.) I get Canadian coins, do you, or any other Canadians get U.S. Coins from time to time?

[Sidoh]

Yes, I do in Colorado.  I used to in Wyoming as well.

Canadian coins are the exact same size as American coins. And that's a dime, a 10-cent piece.

I've only ran across a couple in South Carolina. :\

I was mostly wondering if the Canadians that visit these forums get U.S. coins in Canada, ever.

[iago]

We get American coins once in awhile, but not too often. I generally don't have any on me.

Hmm, I bet you do iago.  I've noticed that ~1/3 of the pennies in Canada are American; there are so many that I don't even really differentiate them in my mind from Canadian currency -- it seems like part of "our" currency.

I get American quarters sometimes too.  They will work in Canadian vending machines, (which emphasizes the similarity in weight and size to their Canadian counterparts).

[iago]

Maybe there's more tourism where you live, or something. When I was working in retail, I'd see a couple American coins each week, but not very many. And that was out of a whole lot of change.

But yeah, they are pretty much interchangable in machines and stuff, so they really aren't that different. But it's still somewhat exceptional to see one.

Yes, I've noticed American currency mostly in Victoria, Vancouver, and Montreal, all where there are lots of tourists.
