Yup... here in NY too. Although I always pick out the Canadian change and hand it back. My son gets stuck constantly. I bet 1/2 the pennies in circulation in this area are US, 1/2 are Canadian. Rolled pennies get sent to the bank mixed. They used to run a magnet over the quarter, nickel and dime rolls to check for Canadian change. Now that the exchange rate is so close, I haven't seen them do it in a while.
