Canadian Mint

it was mentioned here. Buy the $20 for $20 coins with free shipping. Cash them out at a bank. Do enough and it would be worth while.

I happened to be in a Canadian grocery store recently and saw they had $200 MCGCs on the rack. I wonder if higher denominations exist?

It depresses me how we lack many of the simple MS possibilities available to those south of the border. But in a sense, this has forced me to be far more cognizant of offers and policies, and so forth.

Let's hope something comes along to make things simple for us.

Any reloadable prepaid credit cards that are worth using and can be loaded with a credit card ?

At least your mint still periodically lets you buy coins for face value using a credit card.

Sorry to hear that as I have been away in Savannah and Jacksonville (MSing) and was not closely following the latest goings on in the great white north.

Perhaps you could use a vacation to a warmer MS climate?

I MS whenever I travel domestically. Various cities have opportunities we don't have in the Miami area. Miami used to be an MS Wonderland, until our grocers pushed back on MOs due to fraud concerns. The trips are profitable.

Noob question here?

I have read that sending Paypal to friends is not safe in that Paypal can lock the account. Is that true? Any insights into the Paypal method?
