I have two piggybanks, into which I put all coins 25c and below at the end of the day (loonies and toonies stay in the pockets); and every so often I roll 'em up and they go in the bank, a form of stealth savings.
I yank (ahem) any US coins from 5c and up I find in my loose change for spending on my next visit to the republic down south, but that cumulates to about $5 a year. I don't bother with pennies, so bronze Mr Lincolns end up rolled in with bronze Mrs Queens and deposited at the bank.
If you rolled your US coinage, could you not pass off the canajun stuff little by little?
(funnily enough, I got a US quarter in change just this morning - maybe the first this year, not an everyday event).
