Thanks for this tip, durberville! I'll be sure to try this out in Winnipeg. If someone beats me to it, please post about it.
From the
Mint's FAQ page:
The Mint has a process in place to reimburse financial institutions the face value of redeemed NCLT coins, once they have accepted them from a customer and returned them to the Mint. In the event a bank branch is unaware of this procedure, customers are advised to contact the Mint with the coordinates of the bank branch, which will take steps to inform the branch of the redemption process.
Yup, it sounds like some bank branches have been unsure of what to do with coins.
